    net: ipv6 bind to device issue · f4f914b5
    Jiri Olsa authored
    The issue raises when having 2 NICs both assigned the same
    IPv6 global address.
    
    If a sender binds to a particular NIC (SO_BINDTODEVICE),
    the outgoing traffic is being sent via the first found.
    The bonded device is thus not taken into an account during the
    routing.
    
    From the ip6_route_output function:
    
    If the binding address is multicast, linklocal or loopback,
    the RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE bit is set, but not for global address.
    
    So binding global address will neglect SO_BINDTODEVICE-binded device,
    because the fib6_rule_lookup function path won't check for the
    flowi::oif field and take first route that fits.
