[patch 41/54] ICMP: Fix icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr sysctl

From: Chris Wright

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently when icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr is set and an ICMP error is
sent after the packet passed through ip_output(), an address from the
outgoing interface is chosen as ICMP source address since skb->dev doesn't
point to the incoming interface anymore.

Fix this by doing an interface lookup on rt->dst.iif and using that device.
