Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 921 Lines: 31 From: David Stevens 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.
