Sorry I dont really understand what you mean

This patch fixed the problem for me.

My first patch was :

diff --git a/net/ipv4/route.c b/net/ipv4/route.c
index e4ba974..9858714 100644
--- a/net/ipv4/route.c
+++ b/net/ipv4/route.c
@@ -956,6 +956,7 @@ static void ip_rt_update_pmtu(struct dst_entry *dst, struct sock *sk,
 		dst->obsolete = DST_OBSOLETE_KILL;
 	} else {
 		rt->rt_pmtu = mtu;
+		rt->dst.expires = 0;
 		dst_set_expires(&rt->dst, ip_rt_mtu_expires);
 	}
 }
