The command in the test fails as expected because IPv6 forbids a nexthop
device mismatch:
# ./fib-onlink-tests.sh -v
[...]
COMMAND: ip -6 ro add table 1101 2001:db8:102::103/128 via 2001:db8:701::64 dev veth5 onlink
Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway or device mismatch.
TEST: Gateway resolves to wrong nexthop device - VRF [ OK ]
[...]
Where:
# ip route get 2001:db8:701::64 vrf lisa
2001:db8:701::64 dev veth7 table 1101 proto kernel src 2001:db8:701::1 metric 256 pref medium
This is in contrast to IPv4 where a nexthop device mismatch is allowed
when "onlink" is specified:
# ip route get 169.254.7.2 vrf lisa
169.254.7.2 dev veth7 table 1101 src 169.254.7.1 uid 0
# ip ro add table 1101 169.254.102.103/32 via 169.254.7.2 dev veth5 onlink
# echo $?
0
Remove these tests in preparation for aligning IPv6 with IPv4 and
allowing nexthop device mismatch when "onlink" is specified.
A subsequent patch will add tests that verify that both address families
allow a nexthop device mismatch with "onlink".
