Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/6] net: add sysctl for enabling RFC 8335 PROBE messages
Date: Thu,  3 Dec 2020 19:16:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a7fc58bf02c18df714c19d68b788f670cb8597a9.1607050389.git.andreas.a.roeseler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1607050388.git.andreas.a.roeseler@gmail.com>

Section 8 of RFC 8335 specifies potential security concerns of
responding to PROBE requests, and states that nodes that support PROBE
functionality MUST be able to enable/disable responses and it is
disabled by default. 

Add sysctl to enable responses to PROBE messages.
