Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fwd: Remove now-unnecessary handling of unspecified oaddr from splice
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 17:10:45 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106061046.3623968-2-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106061046.3623968-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
fwd_nat_from_splice() has several cases that deal with the possibility of
ini->oaddr being unspecified. That used to be a possible case, but since
e3c4c4175ce6 ("tcp: Always populate oaddr field for socket initiated
flows") and 59cc89f4cc01 ("udp, udp_flow: Track our specific address on
socket interfaces") we now always populate ini->oaddr with a specified
address for all flows.
Remove the now-unnecessary fallback logic.
