Subject: Re: Regarding to your linux kernel CL

Do you mean if we should move the genid/cookie logic into sk_dst_check
and remove the dst->ops->check()? If so, I dont think it will be a
good idea to remove 'dst->ops->check' since it is per dst entry's
check not just for ipv4 entry. At least, the fact of obsolete=2
reveals that the entry is freed and is ready for being released. That
will be weird if we still use the obsolete entry for routing the
socket's traffic(for sure, that's why the packets of the socket goes
nowhere but dropped).
