Oh well, of course this came to 2c8cec5c10bced240
(ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.)

So my method to check if we have a leak might be wrong, since the above
commit let cache full of garbage, and hope that following lookups will
find and evict obsolete dst.

Thats getting difficult :(

Could you please send us

grep . /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/*

Thanks !
