Summary

ip_output has a big chunk of code used to handle special cases with pfil consumers which also forces a reloop on it.
Gather all this code together to make it readable and properly handle the reloop cases.

Some of the issues identified:

  • M_IP_NEXTHOP is not handled properly in existing code.
  • route reference leaking is possible with in FIB number change
  • route flags checking is not consistent in the function
