What stops cleanup_xfrm_interface_bpf() being run while skb is still holding the md_dst?
Oh I think you're right. I missed this.
In order to keep this implementation I suppose it means that the module would not be allowed to be removed upon use of this kfunc. but this could be seen as annoying from the configuration user experience.
Alternatively the metadata dsts can be separately allocated from the kfunc, which is probably the simplest approach to maintain, so I'll work on that approach.
Thanks for noticing this! Eyal.
