[16/80] net: blackhole route should always be recalculated

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Sep 24 2010 - 12:58:50 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Jianzhao Wang <jianzhao.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ae2688d59b5f861dc70a091d003773975d2ae7fb ]

Blackhole routes are used when xfrm_lookup() returns -EREMOTE (error
triggered by IKE for example), hence this kind of route is always
temporary and so we should check if a better route exists for next
packets.
Bug has been introduced by commit d11a4dc18bf41719c9f0d7ed494d295dd2973b92.
