Hi Timo,

   I encountered an issue with your CL
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d11a4dc18bf41719c9f0d7ed494d295dd2973b92.
The cause is that we use a connected UDP socket for building the
l2tp/ipsec vpn connection. However, when the ipsec tunnel is built,
your CL made the sk_dst_check useless(since it always return the
'freed' dst_entry and can not reset the dst entry for the socket).
What is your comment to conquer this issue?

Solution 1. We could add a CL to change it to (dst && dst->obsolete &&
(dst->obsolete>0  || dst->ops->check(...)==NULL) in sk_dst_check()) ?

Solution 2. Revert the change?

Any comment?

Thanks,
Chung-yih
