Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/1] xfrm: dst lookup doesn't account for fwmark

I ran into an issue trying to route outgoing ipsec traffic from an
ipsec responder hub that uses fwmark to route out a specific
interface. The fwmark points to a route table that contains a default
route out a specific interface.  The fwmark is applied based on
incoming interface of incoming traffic. I noticed that the mark was
not being used when doing a route lookup. Is there any reason why this
is? If not does this patch look reasonable? I just followed similar
logic to how TOS was being used before route-lookup. I've only tested
on an earlier kernel (3.14) and it works. Thanks!

Here's an example:

The ipsec policy is simple, just a tunnel from 192.168.0.0/24 <-->
192.168.1.0/24 the ipsec hub is at 35.0.0.1 but when traffic is being
responded too, instead of the expected interface (eth2) we end it out
a different interface (eth0)

route table:
# ip rule list
0: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
40000: from all fwmark 0x2 lookup 3
40000: from all fwmark 0x4 lookup 4
50000: from all lookup 3

# ip route
25.0.0.0/30 dev eth0  src 25.0.0.1
35.0.0.0/30 dev eth2  src 35.0.0.1
192.168.1.0/24 dev lan1  src 192.168.1.1

# ip route list table 4
default via 35.0.0.2 dev eth2 onlink
# ip route list table 3
default via 25.0.0.2 dev eth0 onlink

I noticed this in netfilter trace, traffic matches the ipsec policy:
