Subject: [NETFILTER]: nf_nat: remove obsolete check for ICMP redirects
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=42cf800c240fa845e9c154429d70d62750e65b64;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[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.
