[patch 02/40] ipv6: Fix fib6_dump_table walker leak

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit: 7891cc818967e186be68caac32d84bfd0a3f0bd2 ]

When a fib6 table dump is prematurely ended, we won't unlink
its walker from the list.  This causes all sorts of grief for
other users of the list later.
