NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE |
In arp_req_set(), if ATF_PERM is set in arpreq.arp_flags, ATF_COM is set automatically. The flag will be used later for neigh_update() only when a neighbour entry is found. Let's set ATF_COM just before calling neigh_update(). Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com> --- net/ipv4/arp.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
