After the commit 2b760fcf ("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache"), the fib6 gc is not started after the creation of a RTF_CACHE via a redirect or pmtu update, since fib6_add() isn't invoked anymore for such dsts. We need the fib6 gc to run periodically to clean the RTF_CACHE, or the dst will stay there forever. Fix it by explicitly calling fib6_force_start_gc() on successful exception creation. gc_args->more accounting will ensure that the gc timer will run for whatever time needed to properly clean the table. v2 -> v3: - clarified the commit message Fixes: 2b760fcf ("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
