Thanks David

IPv6 part is screwed because of the bogus dst_check(dst, 0)

(and missing code that was moved out from tcp_rcv_established() to
tcp_v4_do_rcv() : I was wondering if we could make it generic to move it
back to tcp_rcv_established()) :

                if (sk->sk_rx_dst) {
                        struct dst_entry *dst = sk->sk_rx_dst;
                        if (dst->ops->check(dst, 0) == NULL) {
                                dst_release(dst);
                                sk->sk_rx_dst = NULL;
                        }
                }
                if (unlikely(sk->sk_rx_dst == NULL)) {
                        sk->sk_rx_dst = dst_clone(skb_dst(skb));
                        inet_sk(sk)->rx_dst_ifindex = inet_iif(skb);
                }


IPv6 wants a cookie here, not 0

I wonder why cookie is not stored in dst, and must be stored outside of
it ?

We could then use :
                if (sk->sk_rx_dst) {
                        struct dst_entry *dst = sk->sk_rx_dst;
                        if (dst->ops->check(dst) == NULL) {
                                dst_release(dst);
                                sk->sk_rx_dst = NULL;
                        }
                }
