Subject: Linux IPV6_SUBTREES not functioning

For destination & source address routing, I prefer the single routing table approach with IPV6_SUBTREES over the multiple tables with ip rules approach.
Can some take a look at my findings? It looks broken. It seems the source address check in route cache is missing.
