Reverting 3c82a21f4320 would remove isolation between the default and other VRFs
needed when no VRF route leaking has been configured between these: there may be
unintended leaking of packets arriving on a device enslaved to an l3mdev due to
the potential match on an unbound socket.
VRF route leaking requires routes to be present for both ingress and egress VRFs,
the testcase shown only has a route from default to red VRF. The implicit return
path from red to default VRF due to match on unbound socket is no longer present.
Match on unbound socket in all VRFs and not only in the default VRF should be
possible by setting this option (see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt):
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_l3mdev_accept=1
However, for this to work a change similar to the following is needed (I have
shown the change to the macro for consistency with above, it is now an inline fn):

This is to get the testcase to pass, I will leave it to others to comment on
the testcase validity in terms of testing forwarding using commands on 1 device.
The series that 3c82a21f4320 is part of were introduced into the kernel in 2018
by the Vyatta team, who regularly run an extensive test suite for routing protocols
for VRF functionality incl. all combinations of route leaking between default and
other VRFs, so there is no known issue in this regard. I will attempt to reach out
to them so as to advise them of this thread.
Thanks
