Andrew Jeffery e4f349bd6e net: mctp: Ensure keys maintain only one ref to corresponding dev
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 reStructuredText 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.
