[PATCH net-next 3/6] net: add sysctl for enabling RFC 8335 PROBE messages

From: Andreas Roeseler <hidden>
Date: 2020-12-04 03:17:32
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Section 8 of RFC 8335 specifies potential security concerns of
responding to PROBE requests, and states that nodes that support PROBE
functionality MUST be able to enable/disable responses and it is
disabled by default. 

Add sysctl to enable responses to PROBE messages.
