4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Serhey Popovych <serhe.popovych@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 07f615574f8ac499875b21c1142f26308234a92c ] While commit 73ba57bfae4a ("ipv6: fix backtracking for throw routes") does good job on error propagation to the fib_rules_lookup() in fib rules core framework that also corrects throw routes handling, it does not solve route reference leakage problem happened when we return -EAGAIN to the fib_rules_lookup() and leave routing table entry referenced in arg->result. If rule with matched throw route isn't last matched in the list we overwrite arg->result losing reference on throw route stored previously forever. We also partially revert commit ab997ad40839 ("ipv6: fix the incorrect return value of throw route") since we never return routing table entry with dst.error == -EAGAIN when CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES is on. Also there is no point to check for RTF_REJECT flag since it is always set throw route.
