Dear David S. Miller :

Happy to write to you.

<http://oss.sgi.com/archives/netdev/2004-02/msg00111.html>>,
yoshfuji unified 3 similar code patch in ndisc_recv_ns(). I have a question about the "flags sent with NA in reply to this NS" . In the kernel 2.4.21, it is as follows:
ndisc_send_na(dev, neigh, saddr,

                 &msg->target,
                     idev->cnf.forwarding, 1, 0, inc);
in you patch it is as follows:
ndisc_send_na(dev, neigh, saddr, &msg->target,
               idev->cnf.forwarding,
               1, (ifp != NULL && inc), inc);

Can you tell me why you modified the flag O(override)? Thanks a lot!
