Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 13:41:34 -0700 From: Salam Noureddine <noureddine@...stanetworks.com> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@....inr.ac.ru>, James Morris <jmorris@...ei.org>, Hideaki YOSHIFUJI <yoshfuji@...ux-ipv6.org>, Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>, netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Salam Noureddine <noureddine@...stanetworks.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ipv6 mcast: use in6_dev_put in timer handlers instead of __in6_dev_put It is possible for the timer handlers to run after the call to ipv6_mc_down so use in6_dev_put instead of __in6_dev_put in the handler function in order to do proper cleanup when the refcnt reaches 0. Otherwise, the refcnt can reach zero without the inet6_dev being destroyed and we end up leaking a reference to the net_device and see messages like the following, unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 Tested on linux-3.4.43.
