[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 081/102] ip6_gre: release cached dst on tunnel removal

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Sep 22 2015 - 14:05:59 EST


3.19.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: huaibin Wang <huaibin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d4257295ba1b389c693b79de857a96e4b7cd8ac0 upstream.

When a tunnel is deleted, the cached dst entry should be released.

This problem may prevent the removal of a netns (seen with a x-netns IPv6
gre tunnel):
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3
