neighbor: Call __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref in neigh_xmit
Commit cd9ff4de0107 changed the key for IFF_POINTOPOINT devices to INADDR_ANY but neigh_xmit which is used for MPLS encapsulations was not updated to use the altered key. The result is that every packet Tx does a lookup on the gateway address which does not find an entry, a new one is created only to find the existing one in the table right before the insert since arp_constructor was updated to reset the primary key. This is seen in the allocs and destroys counters: ip -s -4 ntable show | head -10 | grep alloc which increase for each packet showing the unnecessary overhread. Fix by having neigh_xmit use __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref for NEIGH_ARP_TABLE. Fixes: cd9ff4de0107 ("ipv4: Make neigh lookup keys for loopback/point-to-point devices be INADDR_ANY") Reported-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Tested-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
