Currently, ip6_tnl_xmit_ctl drops tunneled packets if the remote address (outer v6 destination) is one of host's locally configured addresses. Same applies to ip6_tnl_rcv_ctl: it drops packets if the remote address (outer v6 source) is a local address. This prevents using ipxip6 (and ip6_gre) tunnels whose local/remote endpoints are on same host; OTOH v4 tunnels (ipip or gre) allow such configurations. An example where this proves useful is a system where entities are identified by their unique v6 addresses, and use tunnels to encapsulate traffic between them. The limitation prevents placing several entities on same host. Introduce IP6_TNL_F_ALLOW_LOCAL_REMOTE which allows to bypass this restriction.
