Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
problem.
This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.
(We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
send an answer would use another interface)
netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter
IPReversePathFilter: 21714
