Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Remove unnecessary code from rt_check_expire().
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:21:24 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120626.002124.2220875506847485306.davem@davemloft.net> (raw)


IPv4 routing cache entries no longer use dst->expires, because the
metrics, PMTU, and redirect information are stored in the inetpeer
cache.

Eric, when you did commit 9f28a2fc0bd77511f649c0a788c7bf9a5fd04edb
(ipv4: reintroduce route cache garbage collector) do you remember
if the thing we needed was the real expiry or both the
rt_is_expired() and the rt_may_expire() cases?

I really want to remove rt_may_expire() from this conditional because
it results in absolutely stupid behavior.  If your system is idle
for 5 minutes, all of your input routing cache entries are purged.
