xfrm: set dst dev to blackhole_netdev instead of loopback_dev in ifdown
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The global blackhole_netdev has replaced pernet loopback_dev to become the
one given to the object that holds an netdev when ifdown in many places of
ipv4 and ipv6 since commit 8d7017f ("blackhole_netdev: use
blackhole_netdev to invalidate dst entries").

Especially after commit faab39f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev
unregistration"), it's no longer safe to use loopback_dev that may be
freed before other netdev.

This patch is to set dst dev to blackhole_netdev instead of loopback_dev
in ifdown.

v1->v2:
  - add Fixes tag as Eric suggested.

Fixes: faab39f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev unregistration")
