[IPV4]: OOPS with NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP netlink socket
[ Regression added by changeset: cd40b7d3983c708aabe3d3008ec64ffce56d33b0 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious -DaveM ] nl_fib_input re-reuses incoming skb to send the reply. This means that this packet will be freed twice, namely in: - netlink_unicast_kernel - on receive path Use clone to send as a cure, the caller is responsible for kfree_skb on error. Thanks to Alexey Dobryan, who originally found the problem. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
