One question, how fast is ipv6_dev_get_saddr()? Since the TPROXY target can execute on a per-packet path (although the socket match should take care of packets that belong to already-established connections), this may be performance critical. Is ipv6_dev_get_saddr() something that I can call so often?
It probably isn't the best thing to be calling on a per-packet basis, it's mainly called now on a per-connection basis. I guess if it's really bad for you we could do something like ipv6_get_lladdr() does for finding a link-local address, it might be good enough in this case. -Brian
