Uh, from reading the PR it looks like it can be triggered by creating a little more than 2^16 routes to the same destination, and then deleting some of them to fall back under 2^16. I'm going to give it a try now and I'll send you the script if that works. I'm also making a world with "short" changed to "int" to see if it works. Wouldn't it be sensible to issue a warning (or panic) when increasing the reference count reaches 0, rather than causing a later kernel segfault? It would involve some overhead though, and I'm not sure having 2^32 routes is currently realistic since most machines don't even have that many bytes of RAM, but it might be true one day... -- Pierre Beyssac p...@enst.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
