Currently, __hw_addr_sync_one is called in a loop by __hw_addr_sync_multiple to sync each of a "from" device's hw addresses to a "to" device. __hw_addr_sync_one calls __hw_addr_add_ex to attempt to add each address. __hw_addr_add_ex is called with global=false, and sync=true. __hw_addr_add_ex checks to see if the new address matches an address already on the list. If so, it tests global and sync. In this case, sync=true, and it then checks if the address is already synced, and if so, returns 0. This 0 return causes __hw_addr_sync_one to increment the sync_cnt and refcount for the "from" list's address entry, even though the address is already synced and has a reference and sync_cnt. This will cause the sync_cnt and refcount to increment without bound every time an addresses is added to the "from" device and synced to the "to" device. The fix here has two parts: First, when __hw_addr_add_ex finds the address already exists and is synced, return -EEXIST instead of 0. Second, __hw_addr_sync_one checks the error return for -EEXIST, and if so, it (a) does not add a refcount/sync_cnt, and (b) returns 0 itself so that __hw_addr_sync_multiple will not return an error.
