| |
Hi,
Commit 778d80be52699596bf70e0eb0761cf5e1e46088d (ipv6: Add disable_ipv6 sysctl to disable IPv6 operaion on specific interface) seems to have introduced a leak of sk_buff's for ipv6 traffic, at least in some configurations where idev is NULL, or when ipv6 is disabled via sysctl.
The problem is that if the first condition of the if-statement returns non-NULL, it returns an skb with only one reference, and when the other conditions apply, execution jumps to the "out" label, which does not call kfree_skb for it.
To plug this leak, change to use the "drop" label instead. (this relies on it being ok to call kfree_skb on NULL) This also allows us to avoid calling rcu_read_unlock here, and removes the only user of the "out" label.
