Gateway validation does not need a dst_entry, it only needs the fib entry to validate the gateway resolution and egress device. So, convert ip6_nh_lookup_table from ip6_pol_route to fib6_table_lookup and ip6_route_check_nh to use fib6_lookup over rt6_lookup. ip6_pol_route is a call to fib6_table_lookup and if successful a call to fib6_select_path. From there the exception cache is searched for an entry or a dst_entry is created to return to the caller. The exception entry is not relevant for gateway validation, so what matters are the calls to fib6_table_lookup and then fib6_select_path. Similarly, rt6_lookup can be replaced with a call to fib6_lookup with RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE set in flags. Again, the exception cache search is not relevant, only the lookup with path selection. The primary difference in the lookup paths is the use of rt6_select with fib6_lookup versus rt6_device_match with rt6_lookup. When you remove complexities in the rt6_select path, e.g., 1. saddr is not set for gateway validation, so RT6_LOOKUP_F_HAS_SADDR is not relevant 2. rt6_check_neigh is not called so that removes the RT6_NUD_FAIL_DO_RR return and round-robin logic. the code paths are believed to be equivalent for the given use case - validate the gateway and optionally given the device. Furthermore, it aligns the validation with onlink code path and the lookup path actually used for rx and tx. Adjust the users, ip6_route_check_nh_onlink and ip6_route_check_nh to handle a fib6_info vs a rt6_info when performing validation checks. Existing selftests fib-onlink-tests.sh and fib_tests.sh are used to verify the changes.
