Subject[PATCH 4.14 010/159] xfrm: fix rcu usage in xfrm_get_type_offload
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net>

commit 2f10a61cee8fdb9f8da90f5db687e1862b22cf06 upstream.

request_module can sleep, thus we cannot hold rcu_read_lock() while
calling it. The function also jumps back and takes rcu_read_lock()
again (in xfrm_state_get_afinfo()), resulting in an imbalance.

This codepath is triggered whenever a new offloaded state is created.

Fixes: ffdb5211da1c ("xfrm: Auto-load xfrm offload modules")
