From b5f7e7554753e2cc3ef3bef0271fdb32027df2ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 12:05:27 +0000 Subject: ipv4: add LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER snmp counter Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the problem. This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers. (We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to send an answer would use another interface) netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter IPReversePathFilter: 21714 Reported-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
