Sorry, I got side-tracked. Coming back to this: I made a mistake in the
ip rule fwmark pref in the script. I have fixed it and the script is
attached (gre_setup_nft.sh). It has the nft and ip rule commands above.
The ping between h0 and h1 works.

Yes and it causes the ping between h0 and r1 r1_v11 to not work, e.g.:

ip netns exec h0 ping -c 1 11.0.0.1

Similarly, ping between r0_v00 and r1_v11 also does not work:

ip netns exec r0 ip vrf exec vrf_r0t ping -c 1 -I 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1

To illustrate my statements above, this is what I did:
ip netns exec r1 sysctl -w net.ipv4.fwmark_reflect=1
ip netns exec h0 ping -c 1 11.0.0.1
PING 11.0.0.1 (11.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 11.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.079 ms

The ping between h0 and r1 r1_v11 works, but it still doesn't work for this:
ip netns exec r0 ip vrf exec vrf_r0t ping -c 1 -I 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1

eventhough the reply is received by gre01:
ip netns exec r0 tcpdump -nexi gre01

In summary the question is: should ip rule with action FR_ACT_TO_TBL
also change the skb->dev to the right l3mdev?

Thank you,

Stephen.
