The previous commit fixed a bug in the bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key helper to avoid dropping packets whose outer source IP address isn't assigned to a host interface. This commit changes the corresponding selftest to not assign the outer source IP address to an interface. Not assigning the source IP to an interface causes two issues in the existing test: 1. The ARP requests will fail for that IP address so we need to add the ARP entry manually. 2. The encapsulated ICMP echo reply traffic will not reach the VXLAN device. It will be dropped by the stack before, because the outer destination IP is unknown. To solve 2., we have two choices. Either we perform decapsulation ourselves in a BPF program attached at veth1 (the base device for the VXLAN device), or we switch the outer destination address when we receive the packet at veth1, such that the stack properly demultiplexes it to the VXLAN device afterward. This commit implements the second approach, where we switch the outer destination address from the unassigned IP address to the assigned one, only for VXLAN traffic ingressing veth1. Then, at the vxlan device, the BPF program that checks the output of bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key needs to be updated as the expected local IP address is now the unassigned one.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
