From 88af182e389097997c5e2a0b42285b3522796759 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:22:59 +0000 Subject: net: Fix sysctl restarts... Yuck. It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting with the values already changed. Which unfortunately meant that the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change. I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed values when we restart the sysctl write. One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding on an interface pings were still forwarded. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
