Reads and Writes to ip6_rt_gc_expire always have been racy, as syzbot reported lately [1] There is a possible risk of under-flow, leading to unexpected high value passed to fib6_run_gc(), although I have not observed this in the field. Hosts hitting ip6_dst_gc() very hard are under pretty bad state anyway.

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.
