The bridge does not flood ARP / NS packets for which a reply was sent to
bridge ports that have neighbor suppression enabled.
Subsequent patches are going to add per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor
suppression, which is going to make it more expensive to check whether
neighbor suppression is enabled since a VLAN lookup will be required.
Therefore, instead of unnecessarily performing this lookup for every
packet, only perform it for ARP / NS packets for which a reply was sent.

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.
