This looks fine to me. I noticed the IPv6 large packet test case is
failing; the fib6 tracepoint is showing the loopback as the iif which is
wrong:
ping6 8488 [004] 502.015817: fib6:fib6_table_lookup: table 255 oif 0
iif 1 proto 58 ::/0 -> 2001:db8:16:1::1/0 tos 0 scope 0 flags 0 ==> dev
lo gw :: err -113
I will dig into it later this week.
