From 53f800e3baf980827c197a9332f63effe80d4809 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2016 09:32:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] neigh: Send netevent after marking neigh as dead neigh_cleanup_and_release() is always called after marking a neighbour as dead, but it only notifies user space and not in-kernel listeners of the netevent notification chain. This can cause multiple problems. In my specific use case, it causes the listener (a switch driver capable of L3 offloads) to believe a neighbour entry is still valid, and is thus erroneously kept in the device's table. Fix that by sending a netevent after marking the neighbour as dead.
