Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> Simon, please apply to ipvs tree. Patch compiles also on stable 4.4.13, 4.5.7 and 4.6.2, so no need for special versions. The ack is also for the other 3 patches from v4 (for ipvs-next) but they depend on this patch. > --- > net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c | 6 ++++-- > 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c > index 803001a..1b07578 100644 > --- a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c > +++ b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c > @@ -1545,7 +1545,8 @@ error: > /* > * Set up receiving multicast socket over UDP > */ > -static struct socket *make_receive_sock(struct netns_ipvs *ipvs, int id) > +static struct socket *make_receive_sock(struct netns_ipvs *ipvs, int id, > + int ifindex) > { > /* multicast addr */ > union ipvs_sockaddr mcast_addr; > @@ -1566,6 +1567,7 @@ static struct socket *make_receive_sock(struct netns_ipvs *ipvs, int id) > set_sock_size(sock->sk, 0, result); > > get_mcast_sockaddr(&mcast_addr, &salen, &ipvs->bcfg, id); > + sock->sk->sk_bound_dev_if = ifindex; > result = sock->ops->bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&mcast_addr, salen); > if (result < 0) { > pr_err("Error binding to the multicast addr\n"); > @@ -1868,7 +1870,7 @@ int start_sync_thread(struct netns_ipvs *ipvs, struct ipvs_sync_daemon_cfg *c, > if (state == IP_VS_STATE_MASTER) > sock = make_send_sock(ipvs, id); > else > - sock = make_receive_sock(ipvs, id); > + sock = make_receive_sock(ipvs, id, dev->ifindex); > if (IS_ERR(sock)) { > result = PTR_ERR(sock); > goto outtinfo; > -- > 1.7.7.6 Regards -- Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe lvs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
