Subject: Adding support for VRF traffic passed by mangle table

Hi David,

I formatted a patch to support vrf flow passed by iptables(mangle table). And previously, we lost the flow.oif which would result in a routing look-up failure. This patch wraps vrf response flow with the correct master interface by using the skb->dev, which was set to the real ingress device.
Without this patch, VRF traffic permitted by firewall rules that changes nf_mark would be dropped while doing fib_lookup.
Kernel documentations suggested two way of fixing this:

 
        <
        [2] Iptables on ingress supports PREROUTING with skb->dev set to the real
            ingress device and both INPUT and PREROUTING rules with skb->dev set to
            the VRF device. For egress POSTROUTING and OUTPUT rules can be written
            using either the VRF device or real egress device.
        >


Could you please look at this patch and give me some feedback?
Thanks for your time and considerations.

Regards,
Jack
