A recent commit had an unintended side effect with reject routes:
rt6i_pcpu is expected to always be initialized for all fib6_info except
the null entry. The commit mentioned below skips it for reject routes
and ends up leaking references to the loopback device. For example,
ip netns add foo
ip -netns foo li set lo up
ip -netns foo -6 ro add blackhole 2001:db8:1::1
ip netns exec foo ping6 2001:db8:1::1
ip netns del foo
ends up spewing:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3
The fib_nh_common_init is not needed for reject routes (no ipv4 caching
or encaps), so move the alloc_percpu_gfp after it and adjust the goto label.
Fixes: f40b6ae2b612 ("ipv6: Move pcpu cached routes to fib6_nh")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
