tcp reject code won't reply to a tcp reset. But the icmp reject 'netdev' family versions will reply to icmp dst-unreach errors, unlike icmp_send() and icmp6_send() which are used by the inet family implementation (and internally by the REJECT target). Check for the icmp(6) type and do not respond if its an unreachable error. Without this, something like 'ip protocol icmp reject', when used in a netdev chain attached to 'lo', cause a packet loop. Same for two hosts that both use such a rule: each error packet will be replied to. Such situation persist until the (bogus) rule is amended to ratelimit or checks the icmp type before the reject statement. As the inet versions don't do this make the netdev ones follow along.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
