[PATCH 6.12.y v3 0/2] xfrm: hold dev ref until after transport_finish NF_HOOK

[Simon Liebold <simonlie@amazon.de>]

Thanks for the detailed analysis on v2, Sasha. Here's v3.

v3: Backport b05d42eefac7 ("xfrm: hold device only for the asynchronous
decryption") as a prerequisite, making the tree structurally match mainline so
the fix applies without the lifetime gap Sasha identified in v2, where the
dev_put at resume: dropped the ref before the re-hold could cover it.

v2: Restore unconditional dev_put at resume: and instead take a fresh dev_hold
immediately before transport_finish (when async && !xfrm_gro), avoiding the
reference leak on nested transport-mode that v1's suppressed resume: dev_put
caused. Prerequisite b05d42eefac7 ("xfrm: hold device only for the asynchronous
decryption") was not backported as it restructures the lock ordering and resume:
label semantics of the decryption loop, requiring non-trivial adaptation beyond
what a minimal stable fix warrants.
