Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv4: one more case for non-local saddr in ICMP
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 19:21:23 +0300 (EEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.1108151857420.1481@ja.ssi.bg> (raw)


	May be there is one more case that we can avoid using
non-local source for ICMP errors: xfrm_lookup, num_xfrms = 0 when
reverse "Flow passes untransformed". Avoid using the input route
if xfrm_lookup returns same dst.

	In fact, should we use local IP in all cases when
sending ICMP? I'm asking it for the following case:

	Large packet is forwarded but is rejected with ICMP FRAG
NEEDED. We usually send ICMP with local saddr instead of the
original non-local destination. What is the role of
this reverse check? May be after xfrm_decode_session_reverse
we should use 'fl4_dec.saddr = fl4->saddr;' so that xfrm_lookup
works with ICMP from local IP? What is right thing to do here?
I don't see code that looks in the embedded header...
