Subject: ipv4: fix multicast losses
From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 9aa3c94ce59066f545521033007abb6441706068 ]
Knut Tidemann found that first packet of a multicast flow was not
correctly received, and bisected the regression to commit b23dd4fe42b4
(Make output route lookup return rtable directly.)
Special thanks to Knut, who provided a very nice bug report, including
sample programs to demonstrate the bug.
