Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] ipv6: honor per-interface proxy_ndp in forward and NA paths
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:18:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629061831.1211922-1-chenguang.zhao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623085600.396401-1-zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

ndisc_recv_ns() has always checked both devconf_all and idev->cnf for
proxy_ndp, but ip6_forward() and ndisc_recv_na() only looked at the
global setting. The original commit left XXX comments in these paths
likely because idev was not available there at the time; ip6_forward()
now obtains idev from IP6CB(skb)->iif.

Honor per-interface proxy_ndp in both places to match the NS path and
allow setups that only enable proxy_ndp on specific interfaces.

In ip6_forward(), idev is looked up via the ingress interface (iif) while
pneigh_lookup() uses skb->dev. For ND packets this is correct because
vrf_ip6_rcv() does not modify skb->dev for neighbour discovery frames,
so both refer to the ingress interface.

v2:
 Per Ido's review, the following changes were made in v2:
 - Target net-next instead of net
 - Drop Fixes tag
 - Expand commit message: XXX comment history, idev vs skb->dev for ND packets
 - Fix subject prefix

v1:
