RTF_DYNAMIC route, it got freed twice). I am not sure what was
the actual problem in 1992, but the current behavior is memory
leak if PCB holds a reference to a dynamically created/modified
routing table entry. (rt_refcnt>0 and we don't call rtfree().)
My test bed was:
1. Set net.inet.tcp.msl to a low value (for test purposes), e.g.,
5 seconds, to speed up the transition of TCP connection to a
"closed" state.
2. Add a network route which causes ICMP redirect from the gateway.
3. ping(8) host H that matches this route; this creates RTF_DYNAMIC
RTF_HOST route to H. (I was forced to use ICMP to cause gateway
to generate ICMP host redirect, because gateway in question is a
4.2-STABLE system vulnerable to a problem that was fixed later in
ip_icmp.c,v 1.39.2.6, and TCP packets with DF bit set were
triggering this bug.)
4. telnet(1) to H
5. Block access to H with ipfw(8)
6. Send something in telnet(1) session; this causes EPERM, followed
by an in_losing() call in a few seconds.
7. Delete ipfw(8) rule blocking access to H, and wait for TCP
connection moving to a CLOSED state; PCB is freed.
8. Delete host route to H.
9. Watch with netstat(1) that `rttrash' increased.
10. Repeat steps 3-9, and watch `rttrash' increases.
