When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different
neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations.
The datagram protocols can use MSG_CONFIRM to confirm the
neighbour. When used with MSG_PROBE we do not reach the
code where neighbour is confirmed, so we have to do the
same slow lookup by using the dst_confirm_neigh() helper.
When MSG_PROBE is not used, ip_append_data/ip6_append_data
will set the skb flag dst_pending_confirm.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
