This is fine for now, applied, thanks Patrick. There was a built-in assumption that xfrm_fill_dst() would run to completion before we'd try to release these things, because there in xfrm6_policy.c's xfrm6_fill_dst, we'd do the rt6_transfer_peer(). But that's obviously not the case if errors happen meanwhile. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
