[ Upstream commit3740651bf7] The commit cited below claims to fix a use-after-free condition after tls_device_down. Apparently, the description wasn't fully accurate. The context stayed alive, but ctx->netdev became NULL, and the offload was torn down without a proper fallback, so a bug was present, but a different kind of bug. Due to misunderstanding of the issue, the original patch dropped the refcount_dec_and_test line for the context to avoid the alleged premature deallocation. That line has to be restored, because it matches the refcount_inc_not_zero from the same function, otherwise the contexts that survived tls_device_down are leaked. This patch fixes the described issue by restoring refcount_dec_and_test. After this change, there is no leak anymore, and the fallback to software kTLS still works.

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.
