3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Thomas Graf <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit fa2d8ff4e3522b4e05f590575d3eb8087f3a8cdc ] Return module reference before invoking the respective vport ->destroy() function. This is needed as ovs_vport_del() is not invoked inside an RCU read side critical section so the kfree can occur immediately before returning to ovs_vport_del(). Returning the module reference before ->destroy() is safe because the module unregistration is blocked on ovs_lock which we hold while destroying the datapath.
