From b6b638bda240395dff49a87403b2e32493e56d2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 18:44:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix possible neighbour reference count leak mlxsw_sp_router_schedule_work() takes a reference on a neighbour, expecting a work item to release it later on. However, we might fail to schedule the work item, in which case the neighbour reference count will be leaked. Fix by taking the reference just before scheduling the work item. Note that mlxsw_sp_router_schedule_work() can receive a NULL neighbour pointer, but neigh_clone() handles that correctly. Spotted during code review, did not actually observe the reference count leak.
