From: guodeqing <geffrey.guo@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5eea3a63ff4aba6a26002e657a6d21934b7e2b96 ] ie., $ ifconfig eth0 6.6.6.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 $ ip rule add from 6.6.6.6 table 6666 $ ip route add 9.9.9.9 via 6.6.6.6 $ ping -I 6.6.6.6 9.9.9.9 PING 9.9.9.9 (9.9.9.9) from 6.6.6.6 : 56(84) bytes of data. 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2079ms $ arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 6.6.6.6 (incomplete) eth0 The arp request address is error, this is because fib_table_lookup in fib_check_nh lookup the destnation 9.9.9.9 nexthop, the scope of the fib result is RT_SCOPE_LINK,the correct scope is RT_SCOPE_HOST. Here I add a check of whether this is RT_TABLE_MAIN to solve this problem.
