[PATCH] net: ipv6: Add RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag if oif is set

From: David Ahern <hidden>
Date: 2015-09-28 17:12:21

Wolfgang reported that IPv6 stack is ignoring oif in output route lookups:

    With ipv6, ip -6 route get always returns the specific route.

    $ ip -6 r
    2001:db8:e2::1 dev enp2s0  proto kernel  metric 256
    2001:db8:e2::/64 dev enp2s0  metric 1024
    2001:db8:e3::1 dev enp3s0  proto kernel  metric 256
    2001:db8:e3::/64 dev enp3s0  metric 1024
    fe80::/64 dev enp3s0  proto kernel  metric 256
    default via 2001:db8:e3::255 dev enp3s0  metric 1024

    $ ip -6 r get 2001:db8:e2::100
    2001:db8:e2::100 from :: dev enp2s0  src 2001:db8:e3::1  metric 0
        cache

    $ ip -6 r get 2001:db8:e2::100 oif enp3s0
    2001:db8:e2::100 from :: dev enp2s0  src 2001:db8:e3::1  metric 0
        cache

The stack does consider the oif but a mismatch in rt6_device_match is not
considered fatal because RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE is not set in the flags.
