| |
From: David Decotigny <ddecotig@google.com>
Without this patch, the 'ip neigh add proxy' config is lost when the cable or peer disappear, ie. when the link goes down while staying admin up. When the link comes back, the config is never recovered.
This patch makes sure that such an nd proxy config survives a switch or cable issue.

--- v1: initial revision v2: same as v1, except rebased on top of latest net-next, and includes "net-next" in the description
