Florian Westphal 13ead5c4f2 xfrm: check that cached bundle is still valid
Quoting Ilan Tayari:
  1. Set up a host-to-host IPSec tunnel (or transport, doesn't matter)
  2. Ping over IPSec, or do something to populate the pcpu cache
  3. Join a MC group, then leave MC group
  4. Try to ping again using same CPU as before -> traffic
     doesn't egress the machine at all

Ilan debugged the problem down to the fact that one of the path dsts
devices point to lo due to earlier dst_dev_put().
In this case, dst is marked as DEAD and we cannot reuse the bundle.

The cache only asserted that the requested policy and that of the cached
bundle match, but its not enough - also verify the path is still valid.

Fixes: ec30d78c14 ("xfrm: add xdst pcpu cache")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
