xfrm4_fill_dst() and xfrm6_fill_dst() build dst,
getting a device reference that will likely be released
by standard dst_release() code.
We have to track these references or risk a warning if
CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y
Note to XFRM maintainers :
Error path in xfrm6_fill_dst() releases the reference,
but does not clear xdst->u.dst.dev, so I wonder
if this could lead to double dev_put() in some cases,
where a dst_release() _is_ called by the callers in their
error path.
This extra dev_put() was added in commit 84c4a9dfbf430 ("xfrm6:
release dev before returning error")
Fixes: 9038c320001d ("net: dst: add net device refcount tracking to dst_entry")

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.
