The VXLAN neigh_reduce() code is completely non-functional since check-in. Specific errors: 1) The original code drops all packets with a multicast destination address, even though neighbor solicitations are sent to the solicited-node address, a multicast address. The code after this check was never run. 2) The neighbor table lookup used the IPv6 header destination, which is the solicited node address, rather than the target address from the neighbor solicitation. So neighbor lookups would always fail if it got this far. Also for L3MISSes. 3) The code calls ndisc_send_na(), which does a send on the tunnel device. The context for neigh_reduce() is the transmit path, vxlan_xmit(), where the host or a bridge-attached neighbor is trying to transmit a neighbor solicitation. To respond to it, the tunnel endpoint needs to do a *receive* of the appropriate neighbor advertisement. Doing a send, would only try to send the advertisement, encapsulated, to the remote destinations in the fdb -- hosts that definitely did not do the corresponding solicitation. 4) The code uses the tunnel endpoint IPv6 forwarding flag to determine the isrouter flag in the advertisement. This has nothing to do with whether or not the target is a router, and generally won't be set since the tunnel endpoint is bridging, not routing, traffic. The patch below creates a proxy neighbor advertisement to respond to neighbor solicitions as intended, providing proper IPv6 support for neighbor reduction.
