Commit b0e214d21203 ("netfilter: keep conntrack reference until
IPsecv6 policy checks are done") is a direct copy of the old
commit b59c270104f0 ("[NETFILTER]: Keep conntrack reference until
IPsec policy checks are done") but for IPv6. However, it also
copies a bug that this old commit had. That is: when the third
packet of 3WHS connection establishment contains payload, it is
added into socket receive queue without the XFRM check and the
drop of connection tracking context.
That leads to nf_conntrack module being impossible to unload as
it waits for all the conntrack references to be dropped while
the packet release is deferred in per-cpu cache indefinitely, if
not consumed by the application.
The issue for IPv4 was fixed in commit 6f0012e35160 ("tcp: add a
missing nf_reset_ct() in 3WHS handling") by adding a missing XFRM
check and correctly dropping the conntrack context. However, the
issue was introduced to IPv6 code afterwards. Fixing it the
same way for IPv6 now.

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 Restructured Text 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.
