From 1e19c4d689dc1e95bafd23ef68fbc0c6b9e05180 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 19:37:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: vrf: Add support for sends to local broadcast address Sukumar reported that sends to the local broadcast address (255.255.255.255) are broken. Check for the address in vrf driver and do not redirect to the VRF device - similar to multicast packets. With this change sockets can use SO_BINDTODEVICE to specify an egress interface and receive responses. Note: the egress interface can not be a VRF device but needs to be the enslaved device. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198521 Reported-by: Sukumar Gopalakrishnan Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
