From: Sebastian Pöhn <sebastian.poehn@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== [ Upstream commit 2ab957492d13bb819400ac29ae55911d50a82a13 ] Initial discussion was: [FYI] xfrm: Don't lookup sk_policy for timewait sockets Forwarded frames should not have a socket attached. Especially tw sockets will lead to panics later-on in the stack. This was observed with TPROXY assigning a tw socket and broken policy routing (misconfigured). As a result frame enters forwarding path instead of input. We cannot solve this in TPROXY as it cannot know that policy routing is broken. v2: Remove useless comment Signed-off-by: Sebastian Poehn <sebastian.poehn@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
