Since the commit 1893ff20275b ("net/ipv6: Add l3mdev check to
ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags"), traceroute using TCP SYN or ICMP ECHO option
and ping fail when specifying a source address typically on a loopback
/dummy interface in the same VRF, e.g.:
# ip vrf exec vrfgreen ping 3000::1 -I 2222::2
ping: bind icmp socket: Cannot assign requested address
# ip vrf exec vrfgreen traceroute 3000::1 -s 2222::2 -T
bind: Cannot assign requested address
IPv6 traceroute using default UDP and IPv4 ping & traceroute continue
to work inside a VRF using a source address.
The reason is that the source address is provided via bind without a
device given by these applications in this case. The call to
ipv6_check_addr() in rawv6_bind() returns false as the default VRF is
assumed if no dev was given, but the src addr is in a non-default VRF.
The solution is to check that the address exists in the L3 domain that
the dev is part of only if the dev has been specified.
