Add support for PREROUTING rules with skb-&gt;dev set to the vrf device.
INPUT rules are already allowed. Provides symmetry with the output path
which allows POSTROUTING rules.

IPv6 source address selection needs to consider the real egress route.
Similar to IPv4 implement a get_saddr6 method which is called if
source address has not been set.  The get_saddr6 method does a full
lookup which means pulling a route from the VRF FIB table and properly
considering linklocal/multicast destination addresses. Lookup failures
(eg., unreachable) then cause the source address selection to fail
which gets propagated back to the caller.

Attempting to delete a VRF device with a socket bound to it can stall:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for red to become free. Usage count = 1

The unregister is waiting for the dst to be released and with it
references to the vrf device. Similar to dst_ifdown switch the dst
dev to loopback on delete for all of the dst's for the vrf device
and release the references to the vrf device.

1. Default VRF devices to not having a qdisc (IFF_NO_QUEUE). Users
   can add one as desired.

2. Disable adding a VLAN to a VRF device.

3. Enable offloads and hardware features similar to other logical
   devices (e.g., dummy, veth)

Change provides a significant boost in TCP stream Tx performance,
from ~2,700 Mbps to ~18,100 Mbps and makes throughput close to the

using qemu with virtio+vhost for the NICs

<title>net: vrf: Handle ipv6 multicast and link-local addresses</title>

<id>9ff74384600aeecba34ebdacbbde0627489ff601</id>
<content type='text'>
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%&lt;vrf&gt; 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-&gt;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

The problem above is due to the fact that the fib hash table is not
allocated when IPv6 is disabled at boot.

As for the VRF driver it should not do any IPv6 initializations if IPv6
is disabled, so it needs to know if IPv6 is disabled at boot. The disable
parameter is private to the IPv6 module, so provide an accessor for
modules to determine if IPv6 was disabled at boot time.

As for the VRF driver it should not do any IPv6 initializations if IPv6
is disabled, so it needs to know if IPv6 is disabled at boot. The disable
parameter is private to the IPv6 module, so provide an accessor for
modules to determine if IPv6 was disabled at boot time.

In case a qdisc is used on a vrf device, we need to use different
lockdep classes to avoid false positives.

Use the new netdev_lockdep_set_classes() generic helper.

Add l3mdev rule per address family when the first VRF device is
created. The rules are installed with a default preference of 1000.
Users can replace the default rule as desired.

<title>net: vrf: ipv6 support for local traffic to local addresses</title>

<content type='text'>
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: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; 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.
