Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 14:15:20 -0500
Bugzilla: 231310
Message-Id: <20070307191519.GE27615@gospo.rdu.redhat.com>
Changelog: [ipv6] /proc/net/anycast6 unbalanced inet6_dev refcnt

commit aa6e4a96e7589948fe770744f7bb4f0f743dddaa
Author: David Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com>

    [IPV6]: /proc/net/anycast6 unbalanced inet6_dev refcnt
    
    Reading /proc/net/anycast6 when there is no anycast address
    on an interface results in an ever-increasing inet6_dev reference
    count, as well as a reference to the netdevice you can't get rid of.
