From 6825a26c2dc21eb4f8df9c06d3786ddec97cf53b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gao feng Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:25:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: release reference of ip6_null_entry's dst entry in __ip6_del_rt as we hold dst_entry before we call __ip6_del_rt, so we should alse call dst_release not only return -ENOENT when the rt6_info is ip6_null_entry. and we already hold the dst entry, so I think it's safe to call dst_release out of the write-read lock.
