Re: [PATCH net-next] net/ipv6: stop leaking percpu memory in fib6 info

The fib6_info_alloc() function allocates percpu memory to hold per CPU
pointers to rt6_info, but this memory is never freed. Fix it.

Fixes: a64efe142f5e ("net/ipv6: introduce fib6_info struct and helpers")

Several problems here.

You cannot submit patches to net-next and expect them to go onward to
-stable.  That is not appropriate.  If it is going to stable, you
must target 'net' not 'net-next'.

Furthermore, for networking changes, explicit CC: of stable is not
appropriate.  Instead you must explicitly ask me to queue the patch
up for -stable as I handle networking stable submissions myself.

Thank you.
