Re: [PATCH] ipv4: delete the statements limit icmp message in ip_error()

From: Duan Jiong <redacted>

Because after the icmp_send() is called, the icmpv4_xrlim_allow()
will be called to limit the icmp message too.

Signed-off-by: Duan Jiong <redacted>

icmpv4_xrlim_allow() is different from what this code is doing.

There are seperate controls for ip_error() reporting, namely:

-		if (peer->rate_tokens > ip_rt_error_burst)

 ...

-		if (peer->rate_tokens >= ip_rt_error_cost)

And this is the only place where that is taken into account.

The icmpv4_xrlim_allow() is a top level limiting on all ICMPs,
this function is limiting specific kinds.

I am not applying this patch, sorry.
