From 61fb7bb1420820b524e2107707ba88720cc42d50 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() 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.
