Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] l3mdev: Improve use with main table

Attempting to create a TCP socket not bound to a VRF device when a TCP
socket bound to a VRF device with the same port exists (and vice
versa) fails with EADDRINUSE. This limits the ability to use programs
in selected mixed VRF/non-VRF contexts.

This patch series solves the problem by extending the l3mdev be aware
of the special semantics of the main table and fixing issues arising
from the split local/main tables. A VRF master device created linking
to the main table and used for these programs in the same way as those
created for VRF tables can.

Robert Shearman (3):
  ipv6: Fix route handling when using l3mdev set to main table
  ipv4: Fix route handling when using l3mdev set to main table
  l3mdev: Fix lookup in local table when using main table
