Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] lwtunnel: Fix oops on state free after encap module unload
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 00:21:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1484958086-6151-3-git-send-email-rshearma@brocade.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1484958086-6151-1-git-send-email-rshearma@brocade.com>

When attempting to free lwtunnel state after the module for the encap
has been unloaded an oops occurs:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

The problem is after the module for the encap is unloaded the
corresponding ops is removed and thus is NULL here.

Modules implementing lwtunnel ops should not be allowed to unload
while there is state alive using those ops, so grab the module
reference for the ops on creating lwtunnel state and of course release
the reference when freeing the state.
