    net: l3mdev: address selection should only consider devices in L3 domain · 3f2fb9a8
    David Ahern authored
    David Lamparter noted a use case where the source address selection fails
    to pick an address from a VRF interface - unnumbered interfaces.
    
    Relevant commands from his script:
        ip addr add 9.9.9.9/32 dev lo
        ip link set lo up
    
        ip link add name vrf0 type vrf table 101
        ip rule add oif vrf0 table 101
        ip rule add iif vrf0 table 101
        ip link set vrf0 up
        ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev vrf0
    
        ip link add name dummy2 type dummy
        ip link set dummy2 master vrf0 up
    
        --> note dummy2 has no address - unnumbered device
    
        ip route add 10.2.2.2/32 dev dummy2 table 101
        ip neigh add 10.2.2.2 dev dummy2 lladdr 02:00:00:00:00:02
    
        tcpdump -ni dummy2 &
    
    And using ping instead of his socat example:
        $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
        ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf0.
        PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 9.9.9.9 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
    
    >From tcpdump:
        12:57:29.449128 IP 9.9.9.9 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2491, seq 1, length 64
    
    Note the source address is from lo and is not a VRF local address. With
    this patch:
    
        $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
        PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 10.0.0.3 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
    
    >From tcpdump:
        12:59:25.096426 IP 10.0.0.3 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2113, seq 1, length 64
    
    Now the source address comes from vrf0.
    
    The ipv4 function for selecting source address takes a const argument.
    Removing the const requires touching a lot of places, so instead
    l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu is changed to take a const argument and then
    do the typecast to non-const as required by netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu.
    This is similar to what l3mdev_fib_table_rcu does.
    
    IPv6 for unnumbered interfaces appears to be selecting the addresses
    properly.
