Subject: [62/82] ipv6: fix refcnt problem related to POSTDAD state
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:56:23 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101119215643.836075327@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101119215658.GA7804@kroah.com
2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Ursula Braun <ursula.braun@de.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit 801715f95be37b865af83b9909ad93da141a9306 ]
After running this bonding setup script
modprobe bonding miimon=100 mode=0 max_bonds=1
ifconfig bond0 10.1.1.1/16
ifenslave bond0 eth1
ifenslave bond0 eth3
on s390 with qeth-driven slaves, modprobe -r fails with this message
unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0 to become free. Usage count = 1
due to twice detection of duplicate address.
Problem is caused by a missing decrease of ifp->refcnt in addrconf_dad_failure.
An extra call of in6_ifa_put(ifp) solves it.
Problem has been introduced with commit f2344a131bccdbfc5338e17fa71a807dee7944fa.
