Subject: [PATCH v6 8/8] icmp: let icmp use mac address from flowside structure
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 21:59:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910015919.173414-9-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250910015919.173414-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
Even ICMP needs to be updated to use the external MAC address instead
of just the own tap address when applicable. We do that here.
Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>
---
v3: - Adapted to the move of external MAC address from struct flowside
to struct flow_common
v4: - Adapted to name changes in previous commits in this series
v5: - Added conditional lookup in ARP/NDP if the flow's tap_omac is
undefined
v6: - Looking up MAC of ICMP generating node in udp_send_tap_icmp4/6()
when available, instead trusting the contents of flow->tap_omac.
