When offloading xfrm states to hardware, the offloading device is attached to the skbs secpath. If a skb is free is deferred, an unregister netdevice hangs because the netdevice is still refcounted. Fix this by removing the netdevice from the xfrm states when the netdevice is unregistered. To find all xfrm states that need to be cleared we add another list where skbs linked to that are unlinked from the lists (deleted) but not yet freed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
