Subject: [PATCH net-next] icmp: pass RFC 8335 reply messages to ping_rcv
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 14:08:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210412190845.4406-1-andreas.a.roeseler@gmail.com> (raw)
The current icmp_rcv function drops all unknown ICMP types, including
ICMP_EXT_ECHOREPLY (type 43). In order to parse Extended Echo Reply messages, we have
to pass these packets to the ping_rcv function, which does not do any
other filtering and passes the packet to the designated socket.
Pass incoming RFC 8335 ICMP Extended Echo Reply packets to the ping_rcv
handler instead of discarding the packet.
