Re: Sending a packet with 127.0.0.2 source address

[Anatoly Muliarski <x86ever@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your advice.

But it is not the way :(
This feature( of sending packets with source of 127.x subnet ) will be
used in other software and I would not like to modify it so deeply.
But I have already found a workaround - the source address checking
takes palce in route.c in __mkroute_output() function by
if (ipv4_is_loopback(fl->fl4_src) && !(dev_out->flags&IFF_LOOPBACK))
		return -EINVAL;
I'll try to comment it and test ping's behaviour but I can do that
only tomorrow.
