xfrm_policy_kill() is called at different places to delete xfrm policy. It will call xfrm_pol_put(). But xfrm_dev_policy_delete() is not called to free the policy offloaded to hardware. The three commits cited here are to handle this issue by calling xfrm_dev_policy_delete() outside xfrm_get_policy(). But they didn't cover all the cases. An example, which is not handled for now, is xfrm_policy_insert(). It is called when XFRM_MSG_UPDPOLICY request is received. Old policy is replaced by new one, but the offloaded policy is not deleted, so driver doesn't have the chance to release hardware resources. To resolve this issue for all cases, move xfrm_dev_policy_delete() into xfrm_policy_kill(), so the offloaded policy can be deleted from hardware when it is called, which avoids hardware resources leakage.

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.
