Subject: ipv4: broadcast sometimes leaves wrong interface (since commit e066008b38ca9ace1b6de8dbbac8ed460640791d)
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:44:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322585087.25018.115.camel@icts-sp-039> (raw)
Hi,
We're having an issue on our Linux PPTP servers. After the first PPTP
client is connected, locally generated broadcast packets go out the ppp0
interface while the routing rules should select eth0.
Some details were already mentioned on the linux-kernel list, see eg
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1111.2/00290.html for
reference.
Finally we were able to narrow it down to one specific commit:
e066008b38ca9ace1b6de8dbbac8ed460640791d ("ipv4: Fix __ip_dev_find() to
use ifa_local instead of ifa_address."). With all recent kernels (tested
up to 3.2.0rc3) we observe this issue and it's solved by reverting this
single patch.
This is the first time we've had to debug a kernel issue. Any advice on
how to proceed would be very welcome. If it's not possible to have this
patch reverted in the kernel, hopefully someone can explain how to work
around this behavior.
Regards,
