Subject: [PATCH] fix dst_entry leak in icmp_push_reply()
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 13:21:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43039C3F.2000207@rincewind.tv> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 309 bytes --]

If the ip_append_data() call in icmp_push_reply() fails, 
ip_flush_pending_frames() needs to be called.  Otherwise, ip_rt_put() is 
never called on inet_sk(icmp_socket->sk)->cork.rt, which prevents the 
route (and net_device) from ever being freed.

I've attached a patch which fixes the problem.
