Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv4: correct dropwatch false positive in ip_local_deliver_finish
Date: Fri,  1 Mar 2013 11:18:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362154680-4331-1-git-send-email-nhorman@tuxdriver.com> (raw)

I had a report recently of a user trying to use dropwatch to localise some frame
loss, and they were getting false positives.  Turned out they were using a user
space SCTP stack that used raw sockets to grab frames.  When we don't have a
registered protocol for a given packet, we record it as a drop, even if a raw
socket receieves the frame.  We should only record the drop in the event a raw
socket doesnt exist to receive the frames

Tested by the reported successfully
