net: add a sysctl to reflect the fwmark on replies
Kernel-originated IP packets that have no user socket associated with them (e.g., ICMP errors and echo replies, TCP RSTs, etc.) are emitted with a mark of zero. Add a sysctl to make them have the same mark as the packet they are replying to. This allows an administrator that wishes to do so to use mark-based routing, firewalling, etc. for these replies by marking the original packets inbound. Tested using user-mode linux: - ICMP/ICMPv6 echo replies and errors. - TCP RST packets (IPv4 and IPv6). Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
