[PATCH v3 01/11] [DO NOT MERGE] ref_tracker: implement use-after-free detection

From: Andrzej Hajda
Date: Mon Feb 21 2022 - 18:26:05 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

Whenever ref_tracker_dir_init() is called, mark the struct ref_tracker_dir
as dead.

Test the dead status from ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free()

This should detect buggy dev_put()/dev_hold() happening too late
in netdevice dismantle process.
