net: vrf: ipv6 support for local traffic to local addresses
Add support for locally originated traffic to VRF-local IPv6 addresses.
Similar to IPv4 a local dst is set on the skb and the packet is
reinserted with a call to netif_rx. With this patch, ping, tcp and udp
packets to a local IPv6 address are successfully routed:
$ ip addr show dev eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master red state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:e0:f9:1c:b9:74 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.100.1.1/24 brd 10.100.1.255 scope global eth1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 2100:1::1/120 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ ping6 -c1 -I red 2100:1::1
ping6: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than red.
PING 2100:1::1(2100:1::1) from 2100:1::1 red: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2100:1::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.098 ms
ip6_input is exported so the VRF driver can use it for the dst input
function. The dst_alloc function for IPv4 defaults to setting the input and
output functions; IPv6's does not. VRF does not need to duplicate the Rx path
so just export the ipv6 input function.
