A later patch allows an IPv6 gateway with an IPv4 route. The neighbor entry will exist in the v6 ndisc table and the cached header will contain the ipv6 protocol which is wrong for an IPv4 packet. For an IPv4 packet to use the v6 neighbor entry, neigh_output needs to skip the cached header and just use the output callback for the neigh entry. A future patchset can look at expanding the hh_cache to handle 2 protocols. For now, IPv6 gateways with an IPv4 route will take the extra overhead of generating the header.

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.
