This patch deals with local client processing.
Prefer LOCAL_OUT hook for scheduling connections from
local clients. LOCAL_IN is still supported if the packets are
not marked as processed in LOCAL_OUT. The idea to process
requests in LOCAL_OUT is to alter conntrack reply before
it is confirmed at POST_ROUTING. If the local requests are
processed in LOCAL_IN the conntrack can not be updated
and matching by state is impossible.
Add the following handlers:
- ip_vs_reply[46] at LOCAL_IN:99 to process replies from
remote real servers to local clients. Now when both
replies from remote real servers (ip_vs_reply*) and
local real servers (ip_vs_local_reply*) are handled
it is safe to remove the conn_out_get call from ip_vs_in
because it does not support related ICMP packets.
- ip_vs_local_request[46] at LOCAL_OUT:-98 to process
requests from local client
Handling in LOCAL_OUT causes some changes:
- as skb->dev, skb->protocol and skb->pkt_type are not defined
in LOCAL_OUT make sure we set skb->dev before calling icmpv6_send,
prefer skb_dst(skb) for struct net and remove the skb->protocol
checks from TUN transmitters.
