If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steffen Klassert [ Upstream commit 13d82bf50dce632355fcccafa4fe44a9b5e706d8 ] Currently we can not flush cached pmtu/redirect informations via the ipv4_sysctl_rtcache_flush sysctl. We need to check the rt_genid of the old route and reset the nh exeption if the old route is expired when we bind a new route to a nh exeption.
