If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Duan Jiong [ Upstream commit 2176d5d41891753774f648b67470398a5acab584 ] Since commit 7e98056964("ipv6: router reachability probing"), a router falls into NUD_FAILED will be probed. Now if function rt6_select() selects a router which neighbour state is NUD_FAILED, and at the same time function rt6_probe() changes the neighbour state to NUD_PROBE, then function dst_neigh_output() can directly send packets, but actually the neighbour still is unreachable. If we set nud_state to NUD_INCOMPLETE instead NUD_PROBE, packets will not be sent out until the neihbour is reachable. In addition, because the route should be probes with a single NS, so we must set neigh->probes to neigh_max_probes(), then the neigh timer timeout and function neigh_timer_handler() will not send other NS Messages.
