Scenario: 1. CS which is part of encaps signal has been completed and now executing kref_put to its encaps signal handle. The refcount of the handle decremented to 0, and called the encaps signal handle release function - hl_encaps_handle_do_release. 2. At this point the user starts waiting on the signal, and finds the encaps signal handle in the handlers list and increment the habdle refcount to 1. 3. Immediately after, hl_encaps_handle_do_release removed the handle from the list and free its memory. 4. Wait function using the handle although it has been freed. This scenario caused the slab area which was previously allocated for the handle to be poison overwritten which triggered kernel bug the next time the OS needed to allocate this slab. Fixed by getting the refcount of the handle only in case it is not zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
