Subject: ipv6: Fix mem leak in rt6i_pcpu
From: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com>
[ Upstream commit 903ce4abdf374e3365d93bcb3df56c62008835ba ]
It was first reported and reproduced by Petr (thanks!) in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119581
free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) used to always happen in ip6_dst_destroy().
However, after fixing a deadlock bug in
commit 9c7370a166b4 ("ipv6: Fix a potential deadlock when creating pcpu rt"),
free_percpu() is not called before setting non_pcpu_rt->rt6i_pcpu to NULL.
It is worth to note that rt6i_pcpu is protected by table->tb6_lock.
kmemleak somehow did not report it. We nailed it down by
observing the pcpu entries in /proc/vmallocinfo (first suggested
by Hannes, thanks!).
