Thanks for the hint to RTM_GETROUTE, but i'm wondering how i can receive
the src from ip_route_ouput_key, since with this commit the rt_src got
removed:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/net/ipv4/route.c?id=d6c0a4f609847d6e65658913f9ccbcb1c137cff3

Or did i miss the new variable for the src or misunderstand the change?

thanks so far!
