One nagging difference between ipv4 and ipv6 is host routes for ipv6
addresses are installed using the loopback device or VRF / L3 Master
device. e.g.,

    2001:db8:1::/120 dev veth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
    local 2001:db8:1::1 dev lo table local proto kernel metric 0 pref medium

Using the loopback device is convenient -- necessary for local tx, but
has some nasty side effects, most notably setting the 'lo' device down
causes all host routes for all local IPv6 address to be removed from the
FIB and completely breaks IPv6 networking across all interfaces.

This patch puts FIB entries for IPv6 routes against the device. This
simplifies the routes in the FIB, for example by making dst->dev and
rt6i_idev->dev the same (a future patch can look at removing the device
reference taken for rt6i_idev for FIB entries).

When copies are made on FIB lookups, the cloned route has dst->dev
set to loopback (or the L3 master device). This is needed for the
local Tx of packets to local addresses.

With fib entries allocated against the real network device, the addrconf
code that reinserts host routes on admin up of 'lo' is no longer needed.

v2
- update icmp6_send to use rt6i_idev for linklocal addresses if
  skb dev is loopback. ICMP unreachables were hitting the wrong
  route in response to UDP messages to local linklocal addresses
  with no server listening

I am afraid this change might break Java:

<http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/file/65464a307408/src/java.base/unix/native/libnet/net_util_md.c#l574>

I am all in for this change, but maybe it might be necessary to mask
RTF_LOCAL routes with "lo" somehow.

Bye,
Hannes

That's asinine. The if_inet6 processing is just getting the 'lo'
interface index. Why scan the file looking for that? The ipv6_route
processing is assembling routes against the loopback device regardless
of what the route is. Do you know why - what the route list is used for?

If it matters, we could keep 'lo' as the device for RTF_LOCAL routes in
the proc files to keep backwards compatibility.

If I read it correctly, seems to be a 2.4 workaround:
- only user of the route list is needsLoopbackRoute()
- only caller of needsLoopbackRoute is here:

I agree that it looks like dead code now. But I know for sure that this
code has been excercised at least at some point in time and caused
problems for JVMs on Linux with IPv6.

On the top of this file I found this comment:

-- >8 --
/* following code creates a list of addresses from the kernel
 * routing table that are routed via the loopback address.
 * We check all destination addresses against this table
 * and override the scope_id field to use the relevant value for "lo"
 * in order to work-around the Linux bug that prevents packets destined
 * for certain local addresses from being sent via a physical interface.
 */
-- 8< --

I don't know if it makes sense to dive down into java history (and I
also found e.g. net-snmp scanning /proc/net/ipv6_route). The same
problem might be visible via RTM_GETROUTE dumps if applications
implement their own source address selection maybe. :/

Bye, Hannes

To say the least.

We really should suggest to them a better way to do what they are
trying to do.

Dave: The java code appears to be dead code from 2.4 time frame. no
longer relevant for this patch.

Hannes: I believe the net-snmp use case is populating the MIB. MIB
entries, like the proc files and rtnetlink responses, will have the
change in that host routes show the device with the address rather than
loopback. But, looking at the send code I don't see this change having
an impact.

I've applied this.

I'm unlikely to revert this just for java, given the kinds of things
they are doing.
