If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Dec 11 11:38:06 EST 2015 From: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@xxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 11:51:07 -0800 Subject: ipv6: Check expire on DST_NOCACHE route From: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5973fb1e245086071bf71994c8b54d99526ded03 ] Since the expires of the DST_NOCACHE rt can be set during the ip6_rt_update_pmtu(), we also need to consider the expires value when doing ip6_dst_check(). This patches creates __rt6_check_expired() to only check the expire value (if one exists) of the current rt. In rt6_dst_from_check(), it adds __rt6_check_expired() as one of the condition check.
