Subject:   ifaddr refcount problem
Message-ID:  <53A48849.8080504@chelsio.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Revision 264905 and 266860 that followed it seem to leak ifaddr
references.  ifa_ifwithdstaddr and ifa_ifwithnet both install a
reference on the ifaddr returned to the caller but ip_output does not
release it, eventually leading to a panic when the refcount wraps over
to 0 and the ifaddr is freed while it is still on various lists.

I'm using this patch for now.  Thoughts?

Regards,
Navdeep
