Even if the patch is not good, the line dst_free(&rt->u.dst); when rt is still in tree leads to a crash, but when you do not do the dst_free, when rt is in tree, then it may have hidden other bugs, but at least I can keep working.
I never said my patch was good, but it does the minimum to avoid my bug:
if (fn->leaf == NULL) { bug_8895_clownix_provisional_workaround = 1; fn->leaf = rt; atomic_inc(&rt->rt6i_ref); } ...
ip6_fib.c, line 796:
if (!bug_8895_clownix_provisional_workaround) dst_free(&rt->u.dst);
That way at least it does not crash.
I cannot provide more than the line and the reason for the crash, I am one of the numerous brainless users.
