For what it's worth, we also have 3 internal patches changing the selection of saddr in icmp6_send (to pick an address from the receiving interface in priority, or the most specific to the source address of the original packet, etc.) that we would like to submit in some form, but that would most likely break existing setups if enabled by default. Could we introduce a sysctl with a set of flags to enable the different behaviors from our patches and Alin's? Or any other configuration interface than sysctls if more appropriate.
