Subject: [PATCH][v3.2.y]  inetpeer: Invalidate the inetpeer tree along with
 the routing cache

Hello,

Please consider including mainline commit 5faa5df in the next v3.2.y
release.  It was included in the mainline tree as of v3.3-rc7.  It has
been tested and confirmed to resolve
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205741 .


commit 5faa5df1fa2024bd750089ff21dcc4191798263d
Author: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@...unet.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 6 21:20:26 2012 +0000

    inetpeer: Invalidate the inetpeer tree along with the routing cache


Also note that commit 5faa5df introduced a race condition that is fixed
by mainline commit 55432d2, so that commit would also be required:

commit 55432d2b543a4b6dfae54f5c432a566877a85d90
Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 5 03:00:18 2012 +0000

    inetpeer: fix a race in inetpeer_gc_worker()



Sincerely,
Joseph Salisbury
