We still leak dsts somewhere.

You could try git bisect, or try to patch net/core/dst.c so that dst_gc_task() (line 83) displays
route informations for say 10 first entries found in the dst_busy_list
(refcnt, interface, source IP, dest IP, things like that) that could ring a bell given your netfilter rules or network conf.

Maybe you are a litle bit too fast for "ip route flush cache" :)

It used to work like that : schedule a timer to start a flush in about 2 seconds. A flush meaning : scan the whole table and delete all entries.

On machines with 4 millions dst entries, this was using too much time and eventually crashing.

On recent kernels, each rtable entry has a special field named rt_genid, so that "ip route flush cache" doesnt have to scan the whole table, but only change the global genid. rtables entries will be deleted later, when their rt_genid is found to be different than the global genid.

Please try the patch that was suggested yesterday, as it is probably the cure your router needs.
