From 42cf800c240fa845e9c154429d70d62750e65b64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 11:15:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: nf_nat: remove obsolete check for ICMP redirects Locally generated ICMP packets have a reference to the conntrack entry of the original packet manually attached by icmp_send(). Therefore the check for locally originated untracked ICMP redirects can never be true.
