commit eb55dc09b5dd040232d5de32812cc83001a23da6 upstream.
__mkroute_input() uses fib_validate_source() to trigger an icmp redirect. My understanding is that fib_validate_source() is used to know if the src address and the gateway address are on the same link. For that, fib_validate_source() returns 1 (same link) or 0 (not the same network). __mkroute_input() is the only user of these positive values, all other callers only look if the returned value is negative.
Since the below patch, fib_validate_source() didn't return anymore 1 when both addresses are on the same network, because the route lookup returns RT_SCOPE_LINK instead of RT_SCOPE_HOST. But this is, in fact, right. Let's adapat the test to return 1 again when both addresses are on the same link.
