Subject: Was change to ip_push_pending_frames intended to break udp (more specifically, WCCP?)
Date: Sat, 20 May 2006 23:11:53 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060520191153.GV3776@stingr.net> (raw)

Hello!

I have a userspace application, which talks WCCP2 with cisco routers.
It sends and receives UDP packets on port 2048. After I've updated my
server to 2.6.16, it stopped working.

Examining logs and packet dumps of previous (2.6.15 kernel) vs.
current, I found, that cisco will not understand packets generated by
2.6.16. The only difference in that packets was IP id field, which was
increasing (1, 2, ...) with old kernel, and always 0 with 2.6.16.

Looking thru the changelog, I've found a suspect. It was this commit:
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=1a55d57b107c3e06935763905dc0fb235214569d

Reverting this patch fixes my problems - the router understands
packets again.

I took a look through the code and ip_select_ident codepath but still
don't understand why it setting id to 0.
