3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: JianJhen Chen <kc...@synology.com> [ Upstream commit 4c84edc11b76590859b1e45dd676074c59602dc4 ] When handling DNAT'ed packets on a bridge device, the neighbour cache entry from lookup was used without checking its state. It means that a cache entry in the NUD_STALE state will be used directly instead of entering the NUD_DELAY state to confirm the reachability of the neighbor. This problem becomes worse after commit 2724680bceee ("neigh: Keep neighbour cache entries if number of them is small enough."), since all neighbour cache entries in the NUD_STALE state will be kept in the neighbour table as long as the number of cache entries does not exceed the value specified in gc_thresh1. This commit validates the state of a neighbour cache entry before using the entry.
