[2.6.20.17 review 47/58] IPV6: /proc/net/anycast6 unbalanced inet6_dev refcnt

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Wed Aug 22 2007 - 05:03:41 EST


Reading /proc/net/anycast6 when there is no anycast address
on an interface results in an ever-increasing inet6_dev reference
count, as well as a reference to the netdevice you can't get rid of.
