Hi Tom:

As I mentioned before this is not SNAT. The source address is being done 
at L3 just as it is in the non-VRF case, and it is only set if the prior 
layers have not.

vrf_set_ip_saddr is called by vrf_output. Setting a probe on a test case 
shows:

root@vm-wheezy:~# perf probe vrf_output
Added new event:
   probe:vrf_output     (on vrf_output)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vrf_output -aR sleep 1

root@vm-wheezy:~# perf record -e probe:vrf_output -a -g -- vrf-test -t 
dgram -I vrf10 -r 10.2.1.254

Packets are diverted to the VRF device via a static/custom dst which has 
the output operation set to vrf_output.
