From 1e2ea8ad37be25a7cdcc974945935829d534d5d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xin Long Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2017 20:10:10 +0800 Subject: ipv6: set dst.obsolete when a cached route has expired Now it doesn't check for the cached route expiration in ipv6's dst_ops->check(), because it trusts dst_gc that would clean the cached route up when it's expired. The problem is in dst_gc, it would clean the cached route only when it's refcount is 1. If some other module (like xfrm) keeps holding it and the module only release it when dst_ops->check() fails. But without checking for the cached route expiration, .check() may always return true. Meanwhile, without releasing the cached route, dst_gc couldn't del it. It will cause this cached route never to expire. This patch is to set dst.obsolete with DST_OBSOLETE_KILL in .gc when it's expired, and check obsolete != DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK in .check. Note that this is even needed when ipv6 dst_gc timer is removed one day. It would set dst.obsolete in .redirect and .update_pmtu instead, and check for cached route expiration when getting it, just like what ipv4 route does.
