BUG/MAJOR: spoe: Be sure to remove all references on a released spoe applet
When a SPOE applet is used to send a frame, a reference on this applet is saved
in the spoe context of the offladed stream. But, if the applet is released
before receving the corresponding ack, we must be sure to remove this
reference. This was performed for fragmented frames only. But it must also be
performed for a spoe contexts in the applet waiting_queue and in the thread
waiting_queue (used in async mode).
This bug leads to a memory corruption when an offloaded stream try to update the
state of a released applet because it still have a reference on it. There are
many ways to trigger this bug. The easiest is probably during reloads. On the
old process, all applets are woken up to be released ASAP.
Many thanks to Maciej Zdeb to report the bug and to work on it for 2
months. Without his help, it would have been much more difficult to fix the
bug. It is always a huge pleasure to see how some users are enthousiast and
helpful. Thanks again Maciej !
This patch must be backported to all versions where the spoe is supported (>=
1.7).
