Hello,
Here is a solution that should work not only for IPVS.
If the change looks correct I'll send it in a separate message.
[PATCH net] ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present
From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>
In v3.9 6fd6ce2056de2709 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in
ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2()
such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used
instead of an assigned neighbor.
As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed
routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and
RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing
compared to the destination address.
Fix it by considering the rt6i_gateway address in all
cases, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is
not wrongly diverted to the destination address.
Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the
problematic commit.

Please review for possible side effects when using
rt6i_gateway without RTF_GATEWAY!
