From 0bb4087cbec0ef74fd416789d6aad67957063057 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:00:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Fix neigh lookup keying over loopback/point-to-point devices. We were using a special key "0" for all loopback and point-to-point device neigh lookups under ipv4, but we wouldn't use that special key for the neigh creation. So basically we'd make a new neigh at each and every lookup :-) This special case to use only one neigh for these device types is of dubious value, so just remove it entirely.
