Hmm, this check is too permissive, no? E.g. what happens if you move a link local address from one interface to another? In this case this code would still allow the saddr to be used. I just also quickly read up on the history (sorry was travelling last week) and wonder if you ever saw a user space facing bug or if this is basically some difference you saw while writing out of tree code?
