[ Upstream commit 57644431a6c2faac5d754ebd35780cf43a531b1a ]
In commit b406472b5ad7 ("net: ipv4: avoid mixed n_redirects and
rate_tokens usage") I missed the fact that a 0 'rate_tokens' will
bypass the backoff algorithm.
Since rate_tokens is cleared after a redirect silence, and never
incremented on redirects, if the host keeps receiving packets
requiring redirect it will reply ignoring the backoff.
Additionally, the 'rate_last' field will be updated with the
cadence of the ingress packet requiring redirect. If that rate is
high enough, that will prevent the host from generating any
other kind of ICMP messages
The check for a zero 'rate_tokens' value was likely a shortcut
to avoid the more complex backoff algorithm after a redirect
silence period. Address the issue checking for 'n_redirects'
instead, which is incremented on successful redirect, and
does not interfere with other ICMP replies.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
