ipv4: check rt_genid in dst_check
commit d11a4dc1 Author: Timo Teräs <timo.teras@iki.fi> Date: Thu Mar 18 23:20:20 2010 +0000 ipv4: check rt_genid in dst_check Xfrm_dst keeps a reference to ipv4 rtable entries on each cached bundle. The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is what ipv6 side does too. The problems started after 87c1e12b ("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to get called).

Miller <davem@davemloft.net> This commit is based on the above, with the addition of verifying blackhole routes in the same manner. Fixing the issue with blackhole routes as it was accomplished in mainline would require pulling in a lot more code, and people were not interested in pulling in all of the dependencies given the much higher risk of trying to select the right subset of changes to include. The addition of the single line of "dst->obsolete = -1;" in ipv4_dst_blackhole() was much easier to verify, and is in the spirit of the patch in question. This is the minimal set of changes to fix the bug in question.
