selftests/fib_tests: Rework fib_rp_filter_test()
Currently rp_filter tests in fib_tests.sh:fib_rp_filter_test() are failing. ping sockets are bound to dummy1 using the "-I" option (SO_BINDTODEVICE), but socket lookup is failing when receiving ping replies, since the routing table thinks they belong to dummy0. For example, suppose ping is using a SOCK_RAW socket for ICMP messages. When receiving ping replies, in __raw_v4_lookup(), sk->sk_bound_dev_if is 3 (dummy1), but dif (skb_rtable(skb)->rt_iif) says 2 (dummy0), so the raw_sk_bound_dev_eq() check fails. Similar things happen in ping_lookup() for SOCK_DGRAM sockets. These tests used to pass due to a bug [1] in iputils, where "ping -I" actually did not bind ICMP message sockets to device. The bug has been fixed by iputils commit f455fee41c07 ("ping: also bind the ICMP socket to the specific device") in 2016, which is why our rp_filter tests started to fail. See [2] . Fixing the tests while keeping everything in one netns turns out to be nontrivial....
