From a210d01ae3ee006b59e54e772a7f212486e0f021 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julian Anastasov Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 07:28:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Loosen source address check on IPv4 output ip_route_output() contains a check to make sure that no flows with non-local source IP addresses are routed. This obviously makes using such addresses impossible. This patch introduces a flowi flag which makes omitting this check possible. The new flag provides a way of handling transparent and non-transparent connections differently. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: KOVACS Krisztian Signed-off-by: David S.
