From: Gao Feng <gfree.w...@vip.163.com> It would allocate memory in this function when the cork->opt is NULL. But the memory isn't freed if failed in the latter rt check, and return error directly. It causes the memleak if its caller is ip_make_skb which also doesn't free the cork->opt when meet a error.
Now move the rt check ahead to avoid the memleak.
