net: vrf: Handle ipv6 multicast and link-local addresses
IPv6 multicast and link-local addresses require special handling by the VRF driver: 1. Rather than using the VRF device index and full FIB lookups, packets to/from these addresses should use direct FIB lookups based on the VRF device table. 2. fail sends/receives on a VRF device to/from a multicast address (e.g, make ping6 ff02::1%<vrf> fail) 3. move the setting of the flow oif to the first dst lookup and revert the change in icmpv6_echo_reply made in ca254490c8dfd ("net: Add VRF support to IPv6 stack"). Linklocal/mcast addresses require use of the skb->dev. With this change connections into and out of a VRF enslaved device work for multicast and link-local addresses work (icmp, tcp, and udp) e.g., 1. packets into VM with VRF config: ping6 -c3 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974%br1 ping6 -c3 ff02::1%br1 ssh -6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974%br1 2. packets going out a VRF enslaved device: ping6 -c3 fe80::18f8:83ff:fe4b:7a2e%eth1 ping6 -c3 ff02::1%eth1 ssh -6 root@fe80::18f8:83ff:fe4b:7a2e%eth1 Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
