[PATCH net v2] Net:cache didn't flush when ipv6 rule changed

Please make sure your patch subject is aligned with the rest:
$ git log --no-merges --pretty=format:"%s" net/ipv6/fib6_rules.c | head -n30
fib: remove unnecessary input parameters in fib_default_rule_add
ipv6: change fib6_rules_net_exit() to batch mode
ipv6: Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib6-rules
fib: rules: remove duplicated nla policies
ipv6: fix memory leak in fib6_rule_suppress
ipv6: fib6: remove redundant initialization of variable err
fib: use indirect call wrappers in the most common fib_rules_ops
ipv6: fib6: avoid indirect calls from fib6_rule_lookup
net: fib_notifier: propagate extack down to the notifier block callback
ipv6: do not free rt if FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF is set on suppress rule
ipv6: honor RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF in rule lookup logic
treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 372
ipv6: Use result arg in fib_lookup_arg consistently
ipv6: fib6_rule_action_alt needs to return -EAGAIN
ipv6: Pass fib6_result to fib lookups
net/ipv6: Add fib6_lookup
net/ipv6: Refactor fib6_rule_action
net: fib_rules: add extack support
net: Drop pernet_operations::async
net/ipv6: Pass skb to route lookup
ipv6: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it
ipv6: fib6_rules: support for match on sport, dport and ip proto
net: Convert fib6_rules_net_ops
net: ipv6: avoid overhead when no custom FIB rules are installed
ipv6: fib_rules: Dump rules during registration to FIB chain
ipv6: fib_rules: Check if rule is a default rule
ipv6: Do not leak throw route references
net: flow: Add l3mdev flow update
net: Add l3mdev rule
ipv6: fix the incorrect return value of throw route

Use imperative mood as other subjects do, tell the codebase what do do.

I don't understand why you put these "headers" here. Only one "from" is
enough in this case (you are submitting the patch in stead of another
person).

If you are not, I suggest to use git-send-email for submissions.

"as below" where?

I don't understand this sentence :/

Sorry, this is too cryptic for me to understand :/

Be imperative in the patch description too, tell the codebase what do do.

Names start with capital letters.

Also, when you submit the patch, your signed-off-by tag should be here
as well.

And there, there is none...
