[patch 02/40] ipv6: Fix fib6_dump_table walker leak

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Jan 23 2009 - 01:17:01 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit: 7891cc818967e186be68caac32d84bfd0a3f0bd2 ]

When a fib6 table dump is prematurely ended, we won't unlink
its walker from the list. This causes all sorts of grief for
other users of the list later.
