We simply get source from routing but ensure
with second lookup that IP rules are considered.

Hm, no.

Yes, we still have caching but it is bound.

OK, route is there, only saddr is from other service.
I see a bug that can explain it: ip_vs_dest_dst_alloc uses
kmalloc, not kzalloc, so saddr is not always 0 (0.0.0.0).
If random memory is provided we get -EINVAL and then we
get valid address. What if some memory freed by another
dest_dst (containing saddr used by other dest IP) is allocated?
Routing agrees because this saddr is valid, so we get
valid local address, only that it is not suitable for
our target IP. So, you are probably right about this...
we get saddr from other dests/services.
You can fix it and test it by changing
ip_vs_dest_dst_alloc to use kzalloc. Let me know if
you prefer to apply patch from me or you can change it
directly for the test. If that works we can prepare it
as patch for mainline because I plan to provide
the old saddr as done before the wrong change.
