[ Upstream commit14d066c353] Registering an IPv4 address with the HW takes quite a while, so we temporarily drop the ip_htable lock. Any concurrent add/remove of the same IP adjusts the IP's use count, and (on remove) is then blocked by addr->in_progress. After the register call has completed, we check the use count for concurrently attempted add/remove calls - and possibly straight-away deregister the IP again. This happens via l3_delete_ip(), which 1) looks up the queried IP in the htable (getting a reference to the *same* queried object), 2) deregisters the IP from the HW, and 3) frees the IP object. The caller in l3_add_ip() then does a second free on the same object. For this case, skip all the extra checks and lookups in l3_delete_ip() and just deregister & free the IP object ourselves.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
