From d7c5b263df9a794934589b372120e8043707f82e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 14:33:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: restore the behavior of ipv6_sock_ac_drop() [ Upstream commit de185ab46cb02df9738b0d898b0c3a89181c5526 ] It is possible that the interface is already gone after joining the list of anycast on this interface as we don't hold a refcount for the device, in this case we are safe to ignore the error. What's more important, for API compatibility we should not change this behavior for applications even if it were correct.
