I believe this condition should be relaxed to allow the case where

I've tried something like this, but something makes the kernel stuck
here:

TEST: ping out, blocked by route - ns-B loopback IPv6 [ OK ]
TEST: ping out, device bind, blocked by route - ns-B loopback IPv6 [ OK ]
TEST: ping in, blocked by route - ns-A loopback IPv6 [ OK ]
TEST: ping out, unreachable route - ns-B loopback IPv6 [ OK ]
TEST: ping out, device bind, unreachable route - ns-B loopback IPv6 [ OK ]

I am obviously doing something very stupid.

The problem is that dev_get_by_index() holds a reference on 'dev' which
your code never releases. Also netdev_master_upper_dev_get() needs rtnl
protection. These should have generated some kernel oops.

You can try this instead:

Yes, I stupidly forgot that.

I came across a fixed version:

However, this works by the test (888 passed) but your two liner is obviously
better :-)
