    ipv4: fix inet_select_addr() when enable route_localnet · d8c444d5
    Shijie Luo authored
    Suppose we have two interfaces eth0 and eth1 in two hosts, follow
    the same steps in the two hosts:
     # sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth1.route_localnet=1
     # sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth1.arp_announce=2
     # ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local
    and then set ip to eth1 in host1 like:
     # ifconfig eth1 127.25.3.4/24
    set ip to eth2 in host2 and ping host1:
     # ifconfig eth1 127.25.3.14/24
     # ping -I eth1 127.25.3.4
    Well, host2 cannot connect to host1.
    
    When set a ip address with head 127, the scope of the address defaults
    to RT_SCOPE_HOST. In this situation, host2 will use arp_solicit() to
    send a arp request for the mac address of host1 with ip
    address 127.25.3.14. When arp_announce=2, inet_select_addr() cannot
    select a correct saddr with condition ifa->ifa_scope > scope, because
    ifa_scope is RT_SCOPE_HOST and scope is RT_SCOPE_LINK. Then,
    inet_select_addr() will go to no_in_dev to lookup all interfaces to find
    a primary ip and finally get the primary ip of eth0.
    
    Here I add a localnet_scope defaults to RT_SCOPE_HOST, and when
    route_localnet is enabled, this value changes to RT_SCOPE_LINK to make
    inet_select_addr() find a correct primary ip as saddr of arp request.
    
    Fixes: d0daebc3 ("ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8")
