[PATCH net-next] ipv4: Fix refcount warning for new fib_info

From: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-08-02 16:02:27
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

Ioana reported a refcount warning when booting over NFS:

[    5.042532] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    5.047184] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

fib_treeref needs to be set after kzalloc. The old code had a ++ which
led to the confusion when the int was replaced by a refcount_t.

Fixes: 79976892f7ea ("net: convert fib_treeref from int to refcount_t")
