    xfrm: destroy xfrm_state synchronously on net exit path · f75a2804
    Cong Wang authored
    xfrm_state_put() moves struct xfrm_state to the GC list
    and schedules the GC work to clean it up. On net exit call
    path, xfrm_state_flush() is called to clean up and
    xfrm_flush_gc() is called to wait for the GC work to complete
    before exit.
    
    However, this doesn't work because one of the ->destructor(),
    ipcomp_destroy(), schedules the same GC work again inside
    the GC work. It is hard to wait for such a nested async
    callback. This is also why syzbot still reports the following
    warning:

    In fact, it is perfectly fine to bypass GC and destroy xfrm_state
    synchronously on net exit call path, because it is in process context
    and doesn't need a work struct to do any blocking work.
    
    This patch introduces xfrm_state_put_sync() which simply bypasses
    GC, and lets its callers to decide whether to use this synchronous
    version. On net exit path, xfrm_state_fini() and
    xfrm6_tunnel_net_exit() use it. And, as ipcomp_destroy() itself is
    blocking, it can use xfrm_state_put_sync() directly too.
    
    Also rename xfrm_state_gc_destroy() to ___xfrm_state_destroy() to
    reflect this change.
