linux 2.6.12.3 net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c:line 679
if (fib_info_cnt >= fib_hash_size) { unsigned int new_size = fib_hash_size << 1; struct hlist_head *new_info_hash; struct hlist_head *new_laddrhash; unsigned int bytes; if (!new_size) new_size = 1; bytes = new_size * sizeof(struct hlist_head *); new_info_hash = fib_hash_alloc(bytes); new_laddrhash = fib_hash_alloc(bytes); if (!new_info_hash || !new_laddrhash) { fib_hash_free(new_info_hash, bytes); fib_hash_free(new_laddrhash, bytes); } else { memset(new_info_hash, 0, bytes); memset(new_laddrhash, 0, bytes); fib_hash_move(new_info_hash, new_laddrhash, new_size); } if (!fib_hash_size) goto failure; } In fib_hash_move, there is no code call fib_hash_free to release memory used by old hash table. after call fib_hash_move, fib_info_hash and fib_info_laddrhash are the new memory addresses , old addresses are lost.
