[git patch review 7/7] IPoIB: Fix address handle refcounting formulticast groups

From: Roland Dreier
Date: Tue Jan 10 2006 - 14:30:49 EST


Multiple ipoib_neigh structures on mcast->neigh_list may point to the
same ah. This means that ipoib_mcast_free() can't just make a list of
ah structs to free, since this might end up trying to add the same ah
to the list more than once. Handle this in ipoib_multicast.c in the
same way as it is handled in ipoib_main.c for struct ipoib_path.
