Commit 3765d35ed8b9 ("net: ipv4: Convert inet_rtm_getroute to rcu versions of route lookup") broke "ip route get" in the presence of rules that specify iif lo. Host-originated traffic always has iif lo, because ip_route_output_key_hash and ip6_route_output_flags set the flow iif to LOOPBACK_IFINDEX. Thus, putting "iif lo" in an ip rule is a convenient way to select only originated traffic and not forwarded traffic. inet_rtm_getroute used to match these rules correctly because even though it sets the flow iif to 0, it called ip_route_output_key which overwrites iif with LOOPBACK_IFINDEX. But now that it calls ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu, the ifindex will remain 0 and not match the iif lo in the rule. As a result, "ip route get" will return ENETUNREACH.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
