                                  ^^^^
Hello Neil

I'm sorry I didn't find such things about IPv4.

sctp_transport_dst_check
  -> ipv4_dst_check
    -> rt_is_expired
            ^^^^^^^^^
By "expired", currently we *do* check rt->rt_genid against net->rt_genid,
and for IPv4, every adding/deleting an IPv4 address will bump net->rt_genid,
(this does impact IPv6 dst checking as well) so when I delete an IPv4 address,
ipv4_dst_check failed as expected to look for new dst, basically that's what
I find after checking the code for IPv4 cookie things as mentioned above.
Am I missing something here?
