This series is to avoid creating a RTF_CACHE route whenever we are

the fib6 tree with a new destination. Instead, only create RTF_CACHE

when we see a pmtu exception.
That even helps on systems without an IPv6-connection to world because
it avoids the IPv6 route add/delete pairs which happened before whenever
an IPv6-connection was tried (e.g. by Happy Eyeballs algorithms).
I think that's worse a laud. thanks.
Of course, I meant worth. Sorry, but the left part of my brain seems to
be sometimes in a (maybe forced) power save mode. ;)
Also I wonder how the previous algorithm went into the kernel at all or
why it wasn't fixed earlier. Anyway, it's great that someone took the
time to fix that annoying behaviour (I've had on my radar since quiet
some time).
To complete the discussion, that "annoying behaviour" is also a big
information leak.
Because routes aren't considered confidential and aren't subject to
privacy, that broken behaviour enabled *everyone* on the same system to
see *all* the remote IPv6 systems to which there have been connection
establishment tries.
E.g. I can see the following on a system when browsing to facebook.com
and google.com:

(those deletes happen because I've no IPv6 connection to the outside
world on that system)
Also this doesn't give me the used URLs (or the user). it gives me quiet
some good idea about what happens on a system.
Therefor I think it's worse to think about backporting this patch series
at least to the current long term stable kernel (4.1) too.
