netfilter: nf_nat: remove warn_if_extra_mangle
In net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_rule.c, the function warn_if_extra_mangle was added in commit 5b1158e9 (2006-12-02). I have a DNAT target in the OUTPUT chain than changes connections with dst 2.0.0.1 to another address which I'll substitute with 66.102.9.99 below. On every boot I get the following message: [ 146.252505] NAT: no longer support implicit source local NAT [ 146.252517] NAT: packet src 66.102.9.99 -> dst 2.0.0.1 As far as I can tell from reading the function doing this, it should warn if the source IP for the route to 66.102.9.99 is different from 2.0.0.1 but that is not the case. It doesn't make sense to check the DNAT target against the local route source. Either the function should be changed to correctly check the route, or it should be removed entirely as it's been nearly 2 years since it was added.
