I see this patch is needed by "net: replace dst_cache ip6_tunnel implementation with the generic one", but I'm not 100% sure this is stable material ?!? the race addressed by the later patch is very hard to reproduce - I never saw that in real life scenario. Anyway, if this is going to land on stable, I suggest to add also: commit 9b246841f4041f85265dec5f769c017fc36a0d33 Author: Dave Jones Date: Mon Mar 21 18:37:22 2016 -0400 Make DST_CACHE a silent config option Thanks, Paolo
