    [NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modifications · 73417f61
    Thomas Graf authored
    The results of FIB rules lookups are cached in the routing cache
    except for IPv6 as no such cache exists. So far, it was the
    responsibility of the user to flush the cache after modifying any
    rules. This lead to many false bug reports due to misunderstanding
    of this concept.
    
    This patch automatically flushes the route cache after inserting
    or deleting a rule.
    
    Thanks to Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> for catching a bug
    in the previous patch.
