Re: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv4: Add sysctl to disable per interface

This breaks connection tracking for packets coming in via such
interfaces.

Nowadays we only enable defrag in a network namespace if the ip/nftables
ruleset requires it, so this setting would be counter-productive.

Hi Florian

This usecase is run on an Android based device, so there will be only
the init namespace. While the specific rmnet interfaces for wifi calling do
not require conntrack / iptables, some other scenarios like NAT on other
interfaces may trigger the load of the defrag module. Hence, we needed
this interface specific way of preventing defrag.

An example of this usage is for fixing wifi calling on networks
where certain routers are configured to drop fragments explicitly.

Yay...  does that happen for all frags or is this related to df bit
somehow?

Based on our observations, the routers usually drop all fragmented
packets possibly for security reasons.
