Anycast DST entries allocated inside ipv6_dev_ac_inc are leaked when network device is stopped without removing IPv6 addresses from it. The bug has been observed in the reality on 2.6.18-rhel5 kernel. In the above case addrconf_ifdown marks all entries as obsolete and ip6_del_rt called from __ipv6_dev_ac_dec returns ENOENT. The referrence is not dropped. The fix is simple. DST entry should not keep referrence when stored in the FIB6 tree. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
