From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx> When neighbour become invalid or destroyed, neigh_invalidate() will be called. neigh->ops->error_report() will be called if the neighbour's state is NUD_FAILED, and seems here is the only use of error_report(). So we can tell that the reason of skb drops in arp_error_report() is SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_FAILED.
