Ping sockets can't send packets when they're bound to a VRF master device and the output interface is set to a slave device. For example, when net.ipv4.ping_group_range is properly set, so that ping6 can use ping sockets, the following kind of commands fails: $ ip vrf exec red ping6 fe80::854:e7ff:fe88:4bf1%eth1 What happens is that sk->sk_bound_dev_if is set to the VRF master device, but 'oif' is set to the real output device. Since both are set but different, ping_v6_sendmsg() sees their value as inconsistent and fails. Fix this by allowing 'oif' to be a slave device of ->sk_bound_dev_if. This fixes the following kselftest failure: $ ./fcnal-test.sh -t ipv6_ping [...] TEST: ping out, vrf device+address bind - ns-B IPv6 LLA [FAIL] Reported-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@alu.unizg.hr> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/b6191f90-ffca-dbca-7d06-88a9788def9c@alu.unizg.hr/ Tested-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@alu.unizg.hr> Fixes: 5e457896986e ("net: ipv6: Fix ping to link-local addresses.")

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.
