CONFIGURATION AND PACKET FLOW:
==============================

1) Created VRF device(VRF_258) and enslaved network device(v2_F4252) to this
VRF.

2) Opened UDP socket SO_BINDTODEVICE to VRF_258 device, enabled SO_BROADCAST
setsockoption.
Transmitting UDP packet with SrcIP = 20.20.20.10 and DstIP=255.255.255.255 on
v2_F4252 mentioned in pktinfo cmsg header

3) udp_sendmsg() receives the packet then packet given to VRF processing. 
vrf_ip_out() function divert only mulicast packet but broadcast has not been
diverted so VRF device started processing
the broadcast packet destined to 255.255.255.255.

4) vrf_ip_out() function  gets vrf->rth dst entry and invokes vrf_output().

5) finally packet enters vrf_process_v4_outbound() function. Here route lookup
is performed
    ip_route_output_flow() for this flow on VRF_258.
    Lookup returned 
          routes rt->rt_gateway = 0, 
          rt_type = 3(BROADCAST), 
          rt->rt_flags= 90000000(BROADCAST and LOCAL), 
          rt->dst.dev = VRF_258

    Instead of packet egressing, below check ( rt->dst.dev == vrf_dev) forcing
the packet to Rx path so packet got
    looped back and not egressing.
    if (rt->dst.dev == net->loopback_dev || rt->dst.dev == vrf_dev ) {
    }


Workaround:
===========

 1) is 255.255.255.255 routeable address ? if not, then packet should not be
given to VRF processing
 2) This packet also to be diverted similar to broadcast packet. following
patch solved the issue

   static struct sk_buff *vrf_ip_out(struct net_device *vrf_dev, struct
        sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb) {

        /* don’t divert multicast */
        if (ipv4_is_multicast(ip_hdr(skb)->daddr))
        return skb;

        /* MY PATCH BEGIN */
        /* don’t divert broadcast */
        if (ipv4_is_lbcast(ip_hdr(skb)->daddr))
         return skb;
        /* MY PATCH END */
