ipv6: fix a dst leak when removing its exception
These is no need to hold dst before calling rt6_remove_exception_rt(). The call to dst_hold_safe() in ip6_link_failure() was for ip6_del_rt(), which has been removed in Commit 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes"). Otherwise, it will cause a dst leak. This patch is to simply remove the dst_hold_safe() call before calling rt6_remove_exception_rt() and also do the same in ip6_del_cached_rt(). It's safe, because the removal of the exception that holds its dst's refcnt is protected by rt6_exception_lock. Fixes: 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes") Fixes: 23fb93a4d3f1 ("net/ipv6: Cleanup exception and cache route handling") Reported-by: Li Shuang <shuali@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
