Currently a packet is marked for loopback only if the source and
destination address match. This is not enough when multiple
gids are present in rxe's gid table and the traffic is
from one gid to another.

Fix it by marking the packet for loopback if the destination
address appears in rxe's gid table.

Have you considered using ip_route_output_key() for IPv4 or
ip6_route_output() for IPv6 to decide if  this is a loopback?
For reference you can check the flow starting at  rdma_resolve_ip()


Hi Moni,

Yes, I had looked into it, but I haven't seen how I can find
out if the destination IP belongs to the same RXE.
The loopback flag will give us the "same host"
confirmation, but not the same rxe instance, right?

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Marcel
