We do a light flush on CLIENT_REREG and SM_CHANGE events. This goes
through and marks paths invalid. But we weren't always checking for this
validity when we needed to, and so we could keep using a path marked
invalid. What's more, once we establish a path with a valid ah, we put
a pointer to the ah in the neigh struct directly, so even if we mark the
path as invalid, as long as the neigh has a direct pointer to the ah, it
keeps using the old, outdated ah.
To fix this we do several things.
1) Put the valid flag in the ah instead of the path struct, so when we
put the ah pointer directly in the neigh struct, we can easily check the
validity of the ah on send events.
2) Check the neigh->ah and neigh->ah->valid elements in the needed
places, and if we have an ah, but it's invalid, then invoke a refresh of
the ah.
3) Fix the various places that check for path, but didn't check for
path->valid (now path->ah && path->ah->valid).

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
