Tim Stallard b93cfb9cd3 net: icmp6: do not select saddr from iif when route has prefsrc set
Since commit fac6fce9bd ("net: icmp6: provide input address for
traceroute6") ICMPv6 errors have source addresses from the ingress
interface. However, this overrides when source address selection is
influenced by setting preferred source addresses on routes.

This can result in ICMP errors being lost to upstream BCP38 filters
when the wrong source addresses are used, breaking path MTU discovery
and traceroute.

This patch sets the modified source address selection to only take place
when the route used has no prefsrc set.

It can be tested with:

ip link add v1 type veth peer name v2
ip netns add test
ip netns exec test ip link set lo up
ip link set v2 netns test
ip link set v1 up
ip netns exec test ip link set v2 up
ip addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev v1 nodad
ip addr add 2001:db8::3 dev v1 nodad
ip netns exec test ip addr add 2001:db8::2/64 dev v2 nodad
ip netns exec test ip route add unreachable 2001:db8:1::1
ip netns exec test ip addr add 2001:db8:100::1 dev lo
ip netns exec test ip route add 2001:db8::1 dev v2 src 2001:db8:100::1
ip route add 2001:db8:1000::1 via 2001:db8::2
traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::1 2001:db8:1000::1
traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::3 2001:db8:1000::1
ip netns delete test

Output before:
$ traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::1 2001:db8:1000::1
traceroute to 2001:db8:1000::1 (2001:db8:1000::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

$ traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::3 2001:db8:1000::1
traceroute to 2001:db8:1000::1 (2001:db8:1000::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

After:
$ traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::1 2001:db8:1000::1
traceroute to 2001:db8:1000::1 (2001:db8:1000::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

$ traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::3 2001:db8:1000::1
traceroute to 2001:db8:1000::1 (2001:db8:1000::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets
 1  2001:db8::2 (2001:db8::2)  1.403 ms !N  0.205 ms !N  0.313 ms !N

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
