It is a prep work to get dst freeing from fib tree undergo a rcu grace period. The following is a common paradigm: if (ip6_del_rt(rt)) dst_free(rt) which means, if rt cannot be deleted from the fib tree, dst_free(rt) now. 1. We don't know the ip6_del_rt(rt) failure is because it was not managed by fib tree (e.g. DST_NOCACHE) or it had already been removed from the fib tree. 2. If rt had been managed by the fib tree, ip6_del_rt(rt) failure means dst_free(rt) has been called already. A second dst_free(rt) is not always obviously safe. The rt may have been destroyed already. 3. If rt is a DST_NOCACHE, dst_free(rt) should not be called. 4. It is a stopper to make dst freeing from fib tree undergo a rcu grace period. This patch is to use a DST_NOCACHE flag to indicate a rt is not managed by the fib tree. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
