Maybe see if you can sneak a patch into the style guide? :) Thanks, Ben

Binding RST packet outgoing interface to incomming interface for tcp v4 when there is no socket associate with it. This has few benefits: 1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that. 2. This helps tcp connect with SO_BINDTODEVICE set. When connection is lost, we still able to sending out RST using same interface. 3. we are send reply, it is most likely to be succeed if iif is used Signed-off-by: Shawn Lu <shawn.lu@ericsson.com> --- V2: amend as Eric Dumazet suggested net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c | 6 ++++++ 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
