From e110861f86094cd78cc85593b873970092deb43a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Colitti Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 10:17:33 -0700 Subject: net: add a sysctl to reflect the fwmark on replies Kernel-originated IP packets that have no user socket associated with them (e.g., ICMP errors and echo replies, TCP RSTs, etc.) are emitted with a mark of zero. Add a sysctl to make them have the same mark as the packet they are replying to. This allows an administrator that wishes to do so to use mark-based routing, firewalling, etc. for these replies by marking the original packets inbound. Tested using user-mode linux: - ICMP/ICMPv6 echo replies and errors. - TCP RST packets (IPv4 and IPv6). Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti Signed-off-by: David S.
