Subject: [PATCH v2] ipv4: Fix flushing of cached routing informations

From: Steffen Klassert <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:17:44 +0200

Currently we can not flush cached pmtu/redirect informations via
the ipv4_sysctl_rtcache_flush sysctl. We need to check the rt_genid
of the old route and reset the nh exeption if the old route is
expired when we bind a new route to a nh exeption.
