Subject: [PATCH net 03/10] ipvs: fix missing counter decrement in lblc
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 09:41:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930074142.298353-4-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930074142.298353-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>
LBLC may delete cache entries for destinations that are
removed or overloaded and replace them with available ones.
But ip_vs_lblc_new() forgets to decrement the tbl->entries
counter after calling ip_vs_lblc_del(). This can lead to
increased shrinking of the cache with every new garbage
collection.
Fixes: 2f3d771a35fe ("ipvs: do not use dest after ip_vs_dest_put in LBLC")
