The bpf_fib_lookup() also looks up the neigh table. This was done before bpf_redirect_neigh() was added. In the use case that does not manage the neigh table and requires bpf_fib_lookup() to lookup a fib to decide if it needs to redirect or not, the bpf prog can depend only on using bpf_redirect_neigh() to lookup the neigh. It also keeps the neigh entries fresh and connected. This patch adds a bpf_fib_lookup flag, SKIP_NEIGH, to avoid the double neigh lookup when the bpf prog always call bpf_redirect_neigh() to do the neigh lookup. The params->smac output is skipped together when SKIP_NEIGH is set because bpf_redirect_neigh() will figure out the smac also.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
