Martynas Pumputis b96f500dbb bpf: Derive source IP addr via bpf_*_fib_lookup()
commit dab4e1f06c upstream.

Extend the bpf_fib_lookup() helper by making it to return the source
IPv4/IPv6 address if the BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SRC flag is set.

For example, the following snippet can be used to derive the desired
source IP address:

    struct bpf_fib_lookup p = { .ipv4_dst = ip4->daddr };

    ret = bpf_skb_fib_lookup(skb, p, sizeof(p),
            BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SRC | BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SKIP_NEIGH);
    if (ret != BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_SUCCESS)
        return TC_ACT_SHOT;

    /* the p.ipv4_src now contains the source address */

The inability to derive the proper source address may cause malfunctions
in BPF-based dataplanes for hosts containing netdevs with more than one
routable IP address or for multi-homed hosts.

For example, Cilium implements packet masquerading in BPF. If an
egressing netdev to which the Cilium's BPF prog is attached has
multiple IP addresses, then only one [hardcoded] IP address can be used for
masquerading. This breaks connectivity if any other IP address should have
been selected instead, for example, when a public and private addresses
are attached to the same egress interface.

The change was tested with Cilium [1].

Nikolay Aleksandrov helped to figure out the IPv6 addr selection.
