The commit2b760fcf5c("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache") partially reverted the commit1e2ea8ad37("ipv6: set dst.obsolete when a cached route has expired"). As a result, RTF_CACHE dst referenced outside the fib tree will not be removed until the next sernum change; dst_check() does not fail on aged-out dst, and dst->__refcnt can't decrease: the aged out dst will stay valid for a potentially unlimited time after the timeout expiration. This change explicitly removes RTF_CACHE dst from the fib tree when aged out. The rt6_remove_exception() logic will then obsolete the dst and other entities will drop the related reference on next dst_check(). pMTU exceptions are not aged-out, and are removed from the exception table only when the - usually considerably longer - ip6_rt_mtu_expires timeout expires. v1 -> v2: - do not touch dst.obsolete in rt6_remove_exception(), not needed v2 -> v3: - take care of pMTU exceptions, too Fixes:2b760fcf5c("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
