firewall: Revert strict martian check on loopback interface
If the firewall is talking to itself using one of its private IP addresses (e.g. the primary green interface IP address), it will use the loopback interface.
This is due to the local routing table which will be looked up first:
[root@ipfire ~]# ip rule 0: from all lookup local 128: from all lookup 220 220: from all lookup 220 32765: from all lookup static 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default
It contains:
[root@ipfire ~]# ip route show table local local 8x.1x.1x.1x dev ppp0 proto kernel scope host src 8x.1x.1x.1x local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.1 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 local 192.168.x.1 dev green0 proto kernel scope host src 192.168.x.1 broadcast 192.168.x.255 dev green0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.x.1
Any lookup for the green IP address will show this:
local 192.168.x.1 dev lo table local src 192.168.x.1 uid 0 cache <local>
A test ping shows this in tcpdump:
[root@ipfire ~]# tcpdump -i any icmp -nn tcpdump: data link type LINUX_SLL2 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL2 (Linux cooked v2), snapshot length 262144 bytes 17:24:22.864293 lo In IP 127.0.0.1 > 127.0.0.1: ICMP echo request, id 10420, seq 1, length 64 17:24:22.864422 lo In IP 127.0.0.1 > 127.0.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 10420, seq 1, length 64 17:24:29.162021 lo In IP 192.168.x.1 > 192.168.x.1: ICMP echo request, id 1555, seq 1, length 64 17:24:29.162201 lo In IP 192.168.x.1 > 192.168.x.1: ICMP echo reply, id 1555, seq 1, length 64
For this reason, we will have to accept any source and destination IP address on the loopback interface, which is what this patch does.
We can however, continue to check whether we received any packets with the loopback address on any other interface.
This regression was introduced in commit a36cd34e.
