Netfilter tries to reroute mangled packets as a different route might need to be used following the mangling. When this happens, netfilter does not populate the IP protocol, the source port and the destination port in the flow key. Therefore, FIB rules that match on these fields are ignored and packets can be misrouted. Solve this by dissecting the outer flow and populating the flow key before rerouting the packet. Note that flow dissection only happens when FIB rules that match on these fields are installed, so in the common case there should not be a penalty.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
