[ Upstream commite4f349bd6e] mctp_flow_prepare_output() is called in mctp_route_output(), which places outbound packets onto a given interface. The packet may represent a message fragment, in which case we provoke an unbalanced reference count to the underlying device. This causes trouble if we ever attempt to remove the interface: [ 48.702195] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 [ 58.883056] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mctpusb0 to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 69.022548] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mctpusb0 to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 79.172568] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mctpusb0 to become free. Usage count = 2 ... Predicate the invocation of mctp_dev_set_key() in mctp_flow_prepare_output() on not already having associated the device with the key. It's not yet realistic to uphold the property that the key maintains only one device reference earlier in the transmission sequence as the route (and therefore the device) may not be known at the time the key is associated with the socket.

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.
