[PATCH] net: ip6: ndisc: fix incorrect forwarding of proxied ns packets

From: Nils Fuhler
Date: Wed Aug 14 2024 - 08:32:04 EST


When enabling proxy_ndp per interface instead of globally, neighbor
solicitation packets sent to proxied global unicast addresses are
forwarded instead of generating a neighbor advertisement. When
proxy_ndp is enabled globally, these packets generate na responses as
expected.

This patch fixes this behaviour. When an ns packet is sent to a
proxied unicast address, it generates an na response regardless
whether proxy_ndp is enabled per interface or globally.
