[ Upstream commit f1425529c33def8b46faae4400dd9e2bbaf16a05 ]
Locally generated IP multicast packets (such as the ones used in the
test) do not perform routing and simply egress the bound device.
However, as explained in commit 8bcfb4ae4d97 ("selftests: forwarding:
Fix failing tests with old libnet"), old versions of libnet (used by
mausezahn) do not use the "SO_BINDTODEVICE" socket option. Specifically,
the library started using the option for IPv6 sockets in version 1.1.6
and for IPv4 sockets in version 1.2. This explains why on Ubuntu - which
uses version 1.1.6 - the IPv4 overlay tests are failing whereas the IPv6
ones are passing.
Fix by specifying the source and destination MAC of the packets which
will cause mausezahn to use a packet socket instead of an IP socket.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
