From e70a3aad44cc8b24986687ffc98c4a4f6ecf25ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2018 23:20:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fix double refcount of fib6_metrics All the callers of ip6_rt_copy_init()/rt6_set_from() hold refcnt of the "from" fib6_info, so there is no need to hold fib6_metrics refcnt again, because fib6_metrics refcnt is only released when fib6_info is gone, that is, they have the same life time, so the whole fib6_metrics refcnt can be removed actually. This fixes a kmemleak warning reported by Sabrina.
