It is confusing and silly hiding a paramater so modify all of
the callers to pass in the appropriate socket or skb->sk if

As stated in the comment at the top of this function (ip_queue_xmit()), skb->sk
can be different from sk. See also commit b0270e91014d ("ipv4: add a sock
pointer to ip_queue_xmit()").
Not sure if this change is right.
Good catch. This change should not have been buried in this patch. It
needs to be it's own separate bug fix.
As I read the code we actually do want to pass sk not skb->sk into
ip_local_out. For all of the reasons that sk is potentially different
from skb->sk already.
The way I understand this is we have pushed an sk parameter through the
output path so that sk_mc_loop(sk) can be called with the tunnel's
socket not whatever is on skb->sk. This allows for looking to see if
local multicast loopback is configured on the tunnels socket not on the
originating socket of the packet.
Ok, thank you for the explanation.
