Subject: [stable 2.6.32.y] net/ipv4: fix cached ipv4 dsts never invalidated

    ipv4: check rt_genid in dst_check
    
    Xfrm_dst keeps a reference to ipv4 rtable entries on each
    cached bundle. The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying
    route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is
    what ipv6 side does too.
    
    The problems started after 87c1e12b5eeb7b30b4b41291bef8e0b41fc3dde9
    ("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst
    to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new
    xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the
    fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired
    causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable
    gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to
    get called).

Hi Willy,

Can you please consider applying d11a4dc18bf41719c9f0d7ed494d295dd2973b92 
to 2.6.32.y?  This fixes an issue with cached IPv4 routes never being 
invalidated.  For more details of the problem this causes, see 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=135015076708950&w=2 .  Thanks!
