[linux-vrf-core] Broadcast packet handling.

[Clement M. <cle...@in...>]

Hello, 

I am trying to run a dhcp server on a vrf interface and I am facing a
strange problem.
My dhcp server socket stops to receive packets after a certain amount of
time.
This socket is "special" because it has SO_REUSEADDR and SO_BROADCAST
enabled, and has been SO_BINDTODEVICE'd to my vrf device. 
It has also been SO_VRF'd to the right vrf number.

If I don't use SO_VRF to bind it to the good VRF, I must say that the
socket still receive broadcast packets, but not the unicast ones (and it
seems that it does not break after a certain amount of time).

I am using linux-vrf-0.100 with Jorge Boncompte patch to fix oops on
startup, backported to linux 2.4.17 on mips.

If anyone has seen such problems, or if anyone knows leakage in
broadcast handling, it may help ...

Thank you.
