First, please contact netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for networking issues. Second, this is fixed already: commit d547f727df86059104af2234804fdd538e112015 Author: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> Date: Sun Aug 7 22:20:20 2011 -0700 ipv4: fix the reusing of routing cache entries compare_keys and ip_route_input_common rely on rt_oif for distinguishing of input and output routes with same keys values. But sometimes the input route has also same hash chain (keyed by iif != 0) with the output routes (keyed by orig_oif=0). Problem visible if running with small number of rhash_entries. Fix them to use rt_route_iif instead. By this way input route can not be returned to users that request output route. The patch fixes the ip_rt_bug errors that were reported in ip_local_out context, mostly for 255.255.255.255 destinations. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
