Content-Disposition: inline; filename=ipv4-correct-rp_filter-help-text.patch Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1492 Lines: 42 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Dave Jones As mentioned in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5015 The helptext implies that this is on by default. This may be true on some distros (Fedora/RHEL have it enabled in /etc/sysctl.conf), but the kernel defaults to it off. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S.
