From b8dad61cc74b9ec71052e2a0e1c5119c65d166da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 14:07:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: If fib metrics are default, no need to grab ref to FIB info. The fib metric memory in this case is static in the kernel image, so we don't need to reference count it since it's never going to go away on us. Signed-off-by: David S.
