From 13d82bf50dce632355fcccafa4fe44a9b5e706d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Klassert Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:17:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Fix flushing of cached routing informations Currently we can not flush cached pmtu/redirect informations via the ipv4_sysctl_rtcache_flush sysctl. We need to check the rt_genid of the old route and reset the nh exeption if the old route is expired when we bind a new route to a nh exeption.
