Message-ID: <20120719.085229.2014129813204637207.davem@davemloft.net> (raw)

In a dream I found a bug in this patch and the next one.

When we fetch a cached route from the FIB info, we have to
check if it has been invalidated by a PMTU event or similar.
And if so, cmpxchg() it with NULL and release it, so we
can build and install a new cached route there.

I'll fix this up when I integrate everyone's feedback later
today.
