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

VRF cases to also consider).

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:

The problem appears to be fixed:

# ./fcnal-test.sh

TEST: ping out, vrf device+address bind - ns-B IPv6 LLA [ OK ]
TEST: ping in - ns-A IPv6 [ OK ]
[...]
Tests passed: 888
Tests failed: 0
#

The test passed in both environments that manifested the bug.

Tested-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

However, test on my AMD Ubuntu 22.04 box with 6.4-rc5 commit a4d7d7011219
has shown additional four failed tests:

root@host # grep -n FAIL ../fcnal-test-4.log
90:TEST: ping local, VRF bind - VRF IP [FAIL]
92:TEST: ping local, device bind - ns-A IP [FAIL]
116:TEST: ping local, VRF bind - VRF IP [FAIL]
118:TEST: ping local, device bind - ns-A IP [FAIL]
root@host #

But you would probably want me to file a separate bug report?
