Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] vxlan: fix reading neigh ha
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 18:07:56 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818150756.890025-3-razor@blackwall.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818150756.890025-1-razor@blackwall.org>

Currently arp/neigh_reduce read neigh ha directly which can lead to
partial reads while the neigh is being updated. Use neigh_ha_snapshot to
take a stable snapshot of the address similar to route_shortcircuit which
already does the right thing.

Fixes: e4f67addf158 ("add DOVE extensions for VXLAN")
Fixes: f564f45c4518 ("vxlan: add ipv6 proxy support")
Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <razor@blackwall.org>

v2: - use ETH_ALEN instead of MAX_ADDR_LEN, the bridge devices all use
      ETH_ALEN and vxlan allows arp/nd reduce only when not in raw/gpe
      so it also always uses ETH_ALEN
    - align ha to 2 bytes because ether_addr_copy() expects it (Sashiko)
