[IPV4]: Bug fix in rt_check_expire()
- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash was >= 65536) reminder of the bugfix: The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000. With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ; the loop count : for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0; overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16 (65536 slots in route cache hash table). In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
