[ Upstream commit 2738d9d963bd1f06d5114c2b4fa5771a95703991 ] Fixes sporadic IPv6 packet loss when flow offloading is enabled. IPv6 route GC and flowtable GC are not synchronized. When dst_cache becomes stale and a packet passes through the flow before the flowtable GC teardowns it, the packet can be dropped. So, it is necessary to check dst every time in packet path.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
