ie.,
$ ifconfig eth0 6.6.6.6 netmask 255.255.255.0

$ ip rule add from 6.6.6.6 table 6666

$ ip route add 9.9.9.9 via 6.6.6.6

$ ping -I 6.6.6.6 9.9.9.9
PING 9.9.9.9 (9.9.9.9) from 6.6.6.6 : 56(84) bytes of data.

3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2079ms

$ arp
Address     HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask            Iface
6.6.6.6             (incomplete)                              eth0

The arp request address is error, this is because fib_table_lookup in 
fib_check_nh lookup the destnation 9.9.9.9 nexthop, the scope of 
the fib result is RT_SCOPE_LINK,the correct scope is RT_SCOPE_HOST.  
Here I add a check of whether this is RT_TABLE_MAIN to solve this problem.

fib_check_nh* is only used when the route is installed into the FIB to
verify the gateway is legit. It is not used when processing arp
requests. Why then, do you believe this fixes something?

rt_set_nexthop in __mkroute_output will check the nh->nh_scope value to determine whether to use the gw or not.
		if (nh->nh_gw && nh->nh_scope == RT_SCOPE_LINK) {
			rt->rt_gateway = nh->nh_gw;
			rt->rt_uses_gateway = 1;
		}

(ip_route_output_key_hash-> ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu-> __mkroute_output-> rt_set_nexthop)
