I have one proposal for this fix.
In this patch, ip_output() is assumed to receive non-NULL rtentry
argument from its caller.
Two files are patched to support this, so there's no problem right
now. However if some new module calls ip_output() carelessly with
NULL rtentry argument, kernel would crash.
I don't think it is a good change.
KAME rewrote the attached patch to improve this point:
- This memory leak is fixed, of course:-)
(at least I confirmed on 5-current).
- Non-NULL rtentry for ip_output() is still accepted. So only a
patch in ip_output.c is enough.
Could you please correct me if I'm wrong, or consider adopting this
patch?
(it's a patch for 5-current, but it's not so difficult to modify it for
4-stable and 4.5-release branch)
Thanks,
