[PATCH v2 3/3] ipv4: Don't report stale pmtu values to userspace

flat view
STALE5123d

From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
Date: 2012-10-08 10:56:59
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

We report cached pmtu values even if they are already expired.
Change this to not report these values after they are expired
and fix a race in the expire time calculation, as suggested by
Eric Dumazet.
