Cool, thanks!

We should not use (*dst)->dev, as this is the resulting device after the
lookup and not necessarily corresponds to the device the user asked for.
Thus you need to pass in fl6.flowi6_oif. Thus to kill the necessary
ifindex->net_device lookup, I would suggest to move
ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags to use ifindex instead of net_device (0
corresponds to the net_device == NULL case). It seems to me this would
make the code easier. ipv6_chk_addr can simply pass down dev->ifindex to
ipv6_chk_addr.

Probably for checking anycast address you need to look up the
net_device, thus use dev_get_by_index_rcu. But probably the unicast
filter will already hit thus the whole traversing of anycast addresses
won't happen in normal cases. This could be separated to its own function.

In the non-strict case we don't necessarily need bind_to_dev?

Bye,
Hannes
