Commit Message

DST_NOCOUNT in dst_entry::flags tracks whether the entry counts
toward route cache size (net->ipv6.sysctl.ip6_rt_max_size).

If the flag is NOT set, dst_ops::pcpuc_entries counter is incremented
in dist_init() and decremented in dst_destroy().

This flag is tied to allocation/deallocation of dst_entry and
should not be copied from another dst/route. Otherwise it can happen
that dst_ops::pcpuc_entries counter grows until no new routes can
be allocated because the counter reached ip6_rt_max_size due to
DST_NOCOUNT not set and thus no counter decrements on gc-ed routes.

I think my mistake is setting dst.flags in ip6_rt_init_dst. Flags
argument is passed to ip6_dst_alloc which is always invoked before
ip6_rt_copy_init is called which is the only caller of ip6_rt_init_dst.

ip6_rt_cache_alloc calls ip6_dst_alloc with zero as flags; and only
one flag is copied later (DST_HOST) outside of ip6_rt_init_dst().
If the flag assignment is completely removed from ip6_rt_init_dst(),
then DST_NOPOLICY flag will be lost.

Which may be OK, but is more than what this patch tries to solve (do not
copy DST_NOCOUNT flag).

After 5+ days mostly offline I just started looking at this problem.
Give me some time to chase down a thought I had from my last response.

In the 4.17 kernel (prior to the fib6_info change), ip6_rt_cache_alloc
calls __ip6_dst_alloc with 0 for flags so this is correct. The mistake
is ip6_rt_copy_init -> ip6_rt_init_dst -> fib6_info_dst_flags.

I believe the right fix is to drop the 'rt->dst.flags |=
fib6_info_dst_flags(ort);' from ip6_rt_init_dst.

OK, I sent a v2 with the assignment removed. Thanks for the review!
