Once in_dev_get is called to receive in_device pointer, the
in_device reference counter is increased, but if there are
no ipv4 addresses configured on the net-device the ifa_list
will be null, resulting in a flow that doesn't call in_dev_put
to decrease the ref_cnt.
This was exposed when running RoCE over ipv6 without any ipv4
addresses configured

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
