[ Upstream commit61fb0d0168] At ipv6 route dismantle, fib6_drop_pcpu_from() is responsible for finding all percpu routes and set their ->from pointer to NULL, so that fib6_ref can reach its expected value (1). The problem right now is that other cpus can still catch the route being deleted, since there is no rcu grace period between the route deletion and call to fib6_drop_pcpu_from() This can leak the fib6 and associated resources, since no notifier will take care of removing the last reference(s). I decided to add another boolean (fib6_destroying) instead of reusing/renaming exception_bucket_flushed to ease stable backports, and properly document the memory barriers used to implement this fix. This patch has been co-developped with Wei Wang.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
