Subject: loopback IP alias breaks tftp?

Hi All,

We've had a report [1] of a change in behavior when trying to use an IP
alias to tftp from a loopback device.  Apparently the steps outlined in
the bug worked in 2.6.35, and broke somewhere before 2.6.38.6.

I can confirm the steps fail on a 3.0 based kernel and I'm trying to do
a git bisect to find the commit involved, but I thought I would send
this along to see if anyone might have an idea.  (Also, I'm not really
sure how valid of a usecase this was to begin with.)
