Subject[PATCH 3.11 46/66] ipv6: probe routes asynchronous in rt6_probe
Date
3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>

[ Upstream commit c2f17e827b419918c856131f592df9521e1a38e3 ]

Routes need to be probed asynchronous otherwise the call stack gets
exhausted when the kernel attemps to deliver another skb inline, like
e.g. xt_TEE does, and we probe at the same time.

We update neigh->updated still at once, otherwise we would send to
many probes.
