From 9ab179d83b4e31ea277a123492e419067c2f129a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 11:10:06 -0700 Subject: net: vrf: Fix dst reference counting Vivek reported a kernel exception deleting a VRF with an active connection through it. The root cause is that the socket has a cached reference to a dst that is destroyed. Converting the dst_destroy to dst_release and letting proper reference counting kick in does not work as the dst has a reference to the device which needs to be released as well. I talked to Hannes about this at netdev and he pointed out the ipv4 and ipv6 dst handling has dst_ifdown for just this scenario. Rather than continuing with the reinvented dst wheel in VRF just remove it and leverage the ipv4 and ipv6 versions.
