To properly match iif in ip rules we have to provide
LOOPBACK_IFINDEX in flowi6_iif, not 0. Some ip6mr_fib_lookup
and fib6_rule_lookup callers need such fix.

When the ipv6 fib changes during a table dump, the walk is
restarted and the number of nodes dumped are skipped. But the existing
code doesn't advance to the next node after a node is skipped. This can
cause the dump to loop or produce lots of duplicates when the fib
is modified during the dump.

This change advances the walk to the next node if the current node is
skipped after a restart.

<title>ipv4, fib: pass LOOPBACK_IFINDEX instead of 0 to flowi4_iif</title>

As suggested by Julian:

	Simply, flowi4_iif must not contain 0, it does not
	look logical to ignore all ip rules with specified iif.

because in fib_rule_match() we do:

        if (rule-&gt;iifindex &amp;&amp; (rule-&gt;iifindex != fl-&gt;flowi_iif))
                goto out;

flowi4_iif should be LOOPBACK_IFINDEX by default.

We need to move LOOPBACK_IFINDEX to include/net/flow.h:

1) It is mostly used by flowi_iif

2) Fix the following compile error if we use it in flow.h
by the patches latter:

In file included from include/linux/netfilter.h:277:0,
                 from include/net/netns/netfilter.h:5,

<title>ip6_gre: don't allow to remove the fb_tunnel_dev</title>

It's possible to remove the FB tunnel with the command 'ip link del ip6gre0' but
this is unsafe, the module always supposes that this device exists. For example,
ip6gre_tunnel_lookup() may use it unconditionally.

Let's add a rtnl handler for dellink, which will never remove the FB tunnel (we
let ip6gre_destroy_tunnels() do the job).

<title>ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst-&gt;output() path.</title>

<content type='text'>
In the dst-&gt;output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.

The dst-&gt;output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

ip_queue_xmit() assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an
inet socket. Commit 31c70d5956fc ("l2tp: keep original skb ownership")
changed l2tp to not change skb ownership and thus broke this assumption.

One fix is to add a new 'struct sock *sk' parameter to ip_queue_xmit(),
so that we do not assume skb-&gt;sk points to the socket used by l2tp
tunnel.

Francois reported that setting big mtu on loopback device could prevent
tcp sessions making progress.

We do not support (yet ?) IPv6 Jumbograms and cook corrupted packets.

We must limit the IPv6 MTU to (65535 + 40) bytes in theory.

Tested:

ifconfig lo mtu 70000
netperf -H ::1

Before patch : Throughput :   0.05 Mbits

After patch : Throughput : 35484 Mbits

<title>net: ipv6: Fix oif in TCP SYN+ACK route lookup.</title>

net-next commit 9c76a11, ipv6: tcp_ipv6 policy route issue, had
a boolean logic error that caused incorrect behaviour for TCP
SYN+ACK when oif-based rules are in use. Specifically:

1. If a SYN comes in from a global address, and sk_bound_dev_if
   is not set, the routing lookup has oif set to the interface
   the SYN came in on. Instead, it should have oif unset,
   because for global addresses, the incoming interface doesn't
   necessarily have any bearing on the interface the SYN+ACK is
   sent out on.
2. If a SYN comes in from a link-local address, and
   sk_bound_dev_if is set, the routing lookup has oif set to the
   interface the SYN came in on. Instead, it should have oif set
   to sk_bound_dev_if, because that's what the application
   requested.
