net: vrf: Add support for sends to local broadcast address

dsahern · davem330 · commit 1e19c4d689dc · 2018-01-25T21:51:03.000-05:00
Sukumar reported that sends to the local broadcast address (255.255.255.255) are broken. Check for the address in vrf driver and do not redirect to the VRF device - similar to multicast packets. With this change sockets can use SO_BINDTODEVICE to specify an egress interface and receive responses. Note: the egress interface can not be a VRF device but needs to be the enslaved device. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198521 Reported-by: Sukumar Gopalakrishnan <sukumarg1973@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
