[5.4] route6/fib6 : correct the program not to do panic even if a kmem_cache_create is failed
Issue
- [5.4] route6/fib6 : correct the program not to do panic even if a kmem_cache_create is failed
- If the kmem_cache_create fails, the kernel will panic.
- It is acceptable if the system is booting. but if the ipv6 protocol is compiled as a module and it is loaded after the system has booted, we don't want to panic instead of just failing to initialize the protocol.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 4
- kernel-2.6.18-164.el5
- x86_54
