From 30bfd93062814d6767e452a8f5ddcd97f7e38c7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Oskolkov Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2018 10:20:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net/ipv6: do not copy dst flags on rt init DST_NOCOUNT in dst_entry::flags tracks whether the entry counts toward route cache size (net->ipv6.sysctl.ip6_rt_max_size). If the flag is NOT set, dst_ops::pcpuc_entries counter is incremented in dist_init() and decremented in dst_destroy(). This flag is tied to allocation/deallocation of dst_entry and should not be copied from another dst/route. Otherwise it can happen that dst_ops::pcpuc_entries counter grows until no new routes can be allocated because the counter reached ip6_rt_max_size due to DST_NOCOUNT not set and thus no counter decrements on gc-ed routes.
