__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.

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.
