Good point, thanks. I didn't expect those to change.

This can be fixed, provided that RCU and RTNL locks can be nested:

         rcu_read_lock();
         if (oif) {
                 dev = dev_get_by_index_rcu(net, oif);
                 rtnl_lock();
                 mdev = netdev_master_upper_dev_get(dev);
                 rtnl_unlock();
         }

         if (sk->sk_bound_dev_if) {
                 bdev = dev_get_by_index_rcu(net, sk->sk_bound_dev_if);
         }

         addr_type = ipv6_addr_type(daddr);
         if ((__ipv6_addr_needs_scope_id(addr_type) && !oif) ||
             (addr_type & IPV6_ADDR_MAPPED) ||
             (oif && sk->sk_bound_dev_if && oif != sk->sk_bound_dev_if &&
                     !(mdev && sk->sk_bound_dev_if && bdev && mdev == bdev))) {
                 rcu_read_unlock();
                 return -EINVAL;
	}
         rcu_read_unlock();

But again this is still probably not race-free (bdev might also disappear before
the mdev == bdev test), even if it passed fcnal-test.sh, there is much duplication
of code, so your one-line solution is obviously by far better. :-)

Much obliged.

Best regards,
Mirsad
