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.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
