[PATCH] net : fix for dst_gc_task not getting scheduled if __dst_free() is called consistently

From: <hidden>
Date: 2012-05-19 09:41:24
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Rajan Gupta <redacted>

dst_gc_work is cancelled and again rescheduled in __ds_free(). In case
__dsf_free() is consistently called dst_gc_work will never get called resulting in
memory not getting freed at all until one stops calling __dst_free
