[Devel] [PATCH vz10 v2 2/5] selftests: netfilter: let the router send redirects

[Eva Kurchatova]

The icmp_redirect part of conntrack_icmp_related.sh waits for the router
to send an ICMP redirect, but a new namespace takes send_redirects from
the namespace it is created in, and it is commonly turned off there:

  # ip netns exec "$nsrouter1" \
  #     cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/send_redirects
  0

with nothing sent, the test times out waiting. Ask for it on the router
that is supposed to send them.
