[ Upstream commit e4400bbf5b15750e1b59bf4722d18d99be60c69f ]
The NTF_EXT_LEARNED neigh flag is usually propagated back to user space
upon dump of the neighbor table. However, when used in combination with
NTF_USE flag this is not the case despite exempting the entry from the
garbage collector. This results in inconsistent state since entries are
typically marked in neigh->flags with NTF_EXT_LEARNED, but here they are
not. Fix it by propagating the creation flag to ___neigh_create().
Before fix:
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a REACHABLE
[...]
After fix:
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a extern_learn REACHABLE
