Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2020 16:02:18 +0800 From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@...an.edu.cn> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@....inr.ac.ru>, Hideaki YOSHIFUJI <yoshfuji@...ux-ipv6.org>, Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@...an.edu.cn>, Xin Tan <tanxin.ctf@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Fix nexthop refcnt leak when creating ipv6 route info ip6_route_info_create() invokes nexthop_get(), which increases the refcount of the "nh". When ip6_route_info_create() returns, local variable "nh" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of ip6_route_info_create(). When nexthops can not be used with source routing, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by nexthop_get(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by pulling up the error source routing handling when nexthops can not be used with source routing.
