Subject: Re: [PATCH] [IPv4] Reply net unreachable ICMP message

Hello, Jarek,

I am sorry, but I think I am nor sure I underatand exactly what you mean when
you say:
"It overrides err codes from fib_lookup, where such decisions should be made."

What is incorrect here ?

There are two lines added in this patch;

IP_INC_STATS_BH(IPSTATS_MIB_INNOROUTES);
and err = -ENETUNREACH;

The first one is, regardless to say, not relevant to err codes.

The second, err = -ENETUNREACH, is from: ip_route_input_slow().
(net/ipv4/route.c).

Assigning values to err is done more than once in this method;
for example,
e_hostunreach:
	err = -EHOSTUNREACH;

e_inval:
	err = -EINVAL;

e_nobufs:
	err = -ENOBUFS;

So I don't think anything is incorrect here.


Regards,
Rami Rosen
