When sending ARP requests over AX.25 links the hwaddress in the neighbour
cache are not getting initialized.  For such an incomplete arp entry
ax2asc2 will generate an empty string resulting in /proc/net/arp output
like the following:

$ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address       HW type     Flags       HW address            Mask     Device
192.168.122.1    0x1         0x2         52:54:00:00:5d:5f     *        ens3
172.20.1.99      0x3         0x0              *        bpq0

The missing field will confuse the procfs parsing of arp(8) resulting in
incorrect output for the device such as the following:

$ arp
Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask            Iface
gateway                  ether   52:54:00:00:5d:5f   C                     ens3
172.20.1.99                      (incomplete)                              ens3

This changes the content of /proc/net/arp to:

$ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address       HW type     Flags       HW address            Mask     Device
172.20.1.99      0x3         0x0         *                     *        bpq0
192.168.122.1    0x1         0x2         52:54:00:00:5d:5f     *        ens3

To do so it change ax2asc to put the string "*" in buf for a NULL address
argument.  Finally the HW address field is left aligned in a 17 character
field (the length of an ethernet HW address in the usual hex notation) for
readability.

Currently, arp_rcv() always return zero on a packet delivery upcall.

To make its behavior more compliant with the way this API should be
used, this patch changes this to let it return NET_RX_SUCCESS when the
packet is proper handled, and NET_RX_DROP otherwise.

v1-&gt;v2:
If sanity check is failed, call kfree_skb() instead of consume_skb(), then
return the correct return value.

In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be ARP proxies
that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests.
To prevent gratuitous ARP frames on the shared medium from being
a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them.

Enable this by providing an option called "drop_gratuitous_arp".

When using ip lwtunnels, the additional data for xmit (basically, the actual
tunnel to use) are carried in ip_tunnel_info either in dst-&gt;lwtstate or in
metadata dst. When replying to ARP requests, we need to send the reply to
the same tunnel the request came from. This means we need to construct
proper metadata dst for ARP replies.

We could perform another route lookup to get a dst entry with the correct
lwtstate. However, this won't always ensure that the outgoing tunnel is the
same as the incoming one, and it won't work anyway for IPv4 duplicate
address detection.

The only thing to do is to "reverse" the ip_tunnel_info.

<title>netfilter: Pass net into okfn</title>

<content type='text'>
This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks.  At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.

This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state-&gt;in?:state-&gt;out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state-&gt;net".

In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.

The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume()         xs_net(skb_dst(skb)-&gt;xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont()      ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont()          ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc()                    sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit()			sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb()                   dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) not dev_net(dst-&gt;dev)
ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc()                   sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) before skb-&gt;dev is set to nf_bridge-&gt;physindev

In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)".  I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.
