Subject: [PATCH net 13/15] ipvs: do not create conns from packets with port 0
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 02:14:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113011447.2357709-14-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113011447.2357709-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>
We should disallow normal connections with cport 0 to be
created from packets by the scheduler (from clients) or
by ip_vs_new_conn_out (from real servers) because later
such traffic can not hit the connection due to the
NO_CPORT requirement. As result, it can lead to duplicate
connection for every packet. Do the same for vport 0.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
