From 5d89fb33223e0be32e4100623b915048b02beeec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 13:36:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: set fib rule refcount after malloc The configure callback of fib_rules_ops can change the refcnt of a fib rule. For instance, mlxsw takes a refcnt when adding the processing of the rule to a work queue. Thus the rule refcnt can not be reset to to 1 afterwards. Move the refcnt setting to after the allocation.
