[PATCH net-next] ipv6: udp: Use ip6_sk_redirect() for tunnel sockets

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com>
Date: 2026-09-07 10:15:33
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, user datagram protocol (udp) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Willem de Bruijn

After commit cd51b74bdd0b ("ipv6: Fix redirect exception creation for
UDP/RAW sockets") the two redirect calls are now equivalent and there is
no need to specifically call ip6_redirect() for tunnel sockets. Simplify
and call ip6_sk_redirect() for both tunnel sockets and regular sockets.

Note that for ICMPv6 Redirect Message packets the VRF driver does not
reset skb->dev to the VRF device, so skb->dev->ifindex is equivalent to
inet6_iif(skb), even when the packet was received from a VRF port.
