The nexthop objects tests configure dummy reachable neighbours so that the nexthops will have a MAC address and be programmed to the device. Since these are dummy reachable neighbours, they can be transitioned by the kernel to a failed state if they are around for too long. This can happen, for example, if the "TIMEOUT" variable is configured with a too high value. Make the tests more robust by configuring the neighbours as permanent, so that the tests do not depend on the configured timeout value.

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.
