I agree, though I see no "nice" way to remove this duplication
considering the ifs and #ifdefs around this. You could move the
related and verdict variables to the top of the function and then
recheck afterwards whether one of these ICMP-handling branches was
entered and put the common code in there. But this seems more
cumbersome to me than repeating the code. Maybe you see a nicer way?
Btw., exactly this structure already exists in ip_vs_out(), which is
why I adopted it like this for ip_vs_in().
Cheers,
Julius
