    neighbor: Add skip_cache argument to neigh_output · 0353f282
    David Ahern authored
    A later patch allows an IPv6 gateway with an IPv4 route. The neighbor
    entry will exist in the v6 ndisc table and the cached header will contain
    the ipv6 protocol which is wrong for an IPv4 packet. For an IPv4 packet to
    use the v6 neighbor entry, neigh_output needs to skip the cached header
    and just use the output callback for the neigh entry.
    
    A future patchset can look at expanding the hh_cache to handle 2
    protocols. For now, IPv6 gateways with an IPv4 route will take the
    extra overhead of generating the header.
