From 88c4c066c6b4db26dc4909ee94e6bf377e8e8e81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zang MingJie Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 06:07:34 +0000 Subject: reset nf before xmit vxlan encapsulated packet We should reset nf settings bond to the skb as ipip/ipgre do. If not, the conntrack/nat info bond to the origin packet may continually redirect the packet to vxlan interface causing a routing loop. this is the scenario: VETP VXLAN Gateway /----\ /---------------\ | | | | | vx+--+vx --NAT-> eth0+--> Internet | | | | \----/ \---------------/ when there are any packet coming from internet to the vetp, there will be lots of garbage packets coming out the gateway's vxlan interface, but none actually sent to the physical interface, because they are redirected back to the vxlan interface in the postrouting chain of NAT rule, and dmesg complains: Mar 1 21:52:53 debian kernel: [ 8802.997699] Dead loop on virtual device vxlan0, fix it urgently!
