Fix this by holding on to device reference when queueing packets asynchronously and releasing the reference on call back return. v2: Make the change generic to xfrm as mentioned by Steffen and update the title to xfrm Suggested-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Jerome Stanislaus Signed-off-by: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan Signed-off-by: David S.
