Subject: ipv4: Fix non-initialized TTL when CONFIG_SYSCTL=n
From: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 049bbf589ec651685205bd8ce73221fdd62345cf ]
Commit fa50d974d104 ("ipv4: Namespaceify ip_default_ttl sysctl knob")
moves the default TTL assignment, and as side-effect IPv4 TTL now
has a default value only if sysctl support is enabled (CONFIG_SYSCTL=y).
The sysctl_ip_default_ttl is fundamental for IP to work properly,
as it provides the TTL to be used as default. The defautl TTL may be
used in ip_selected_ttl, through the following flow:
ip_select_ttl
ip4_dst_hoplimit
net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_default_ttl
This commit fixes the issue by assigning net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_default_ttl
in net_init_net, called during ipv4's initialization.
Without this commit, a kernel built without sysctl support will send
all IP packets with zero TTL (unless a TTL is explicitly set, e.g.
with setsockopt).
Given a similar issue might appear on the other knobs that were
namespaceify, this commit also moves them.
