From 1758fd4688eb92c796e75bdb1d256dc558ef9581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Wang Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 10:42:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: remove unnecessary dst_hold() in ip6_fragment() In ipv6 tx path, rcu_read_lock() is taken so that dst won't get freed during the execution of ip6_fragment(). Hence, no need to hold dst in it. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S.
