[net-next] ipv6:sr: Use the right next-hop value for neighbor discovery in End.DX4

[net-next] ipv6:sr: Use the right next-hop value for neighbor discovery in End.DX4

[Ahmed Abdelsalam]

The SRv6 End.DX4 behaviour supports the use-case of L3VPN,
where a FIB lookup in a specific tenant table at the egress
PE is not required [1].

In the implementation of the behaviour, after the packet being
decapsulated, the lookup in the routing sub-system is done based
on next-hop specified form the control plane (using iproute2) or
the destination address of the packet.

However, the neighbour discovery process always fall back on the
destination address of the packet (in ip_finish_output2 ()),
if "rt_gateway" value is not present in the "struct rtable rt".

nexthop = (__force u32) rt_nexthop(rt, ip_hdr(skb)->daddr);

This patch makes sure that "rt_gateway" has the value of
the next-hop configured from the control plane.

The patch is tested for inner IPv4 packets having destination
address different from the next-hop configured using iproute2

You can't change the rt_gateway field of an existing route,
this will change the value for unrelated users trying to
reach the same destination.
