When send a skb from local to external, the dst->dst_input will be
assigned dst_discard after routing decision. So if we redirect these
skbs to ingress stack, it will be dropped.

For ipvlan l2 mode or macvlan, clsact egress filters on master deivce
may also meet these skbs even if they came from slave device. Ingress
redirection on these skbs may drop them on l3 stack.

No, this is a different issue ^_^.
