Description Jon Thomas 2011-01-07 17:38:58 UTC
Created attachment 472267 [details]
patch for 5.6

Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they
are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills
the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been
generated locally.

Comment 1 Jon Thomas 2011-01-07 17:42:52 UTC
The attached patch is same as lkml patch. It applies cleanly to 235.
