From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
When suppressing invalid IPv6 Neighbour Solicitation messages, it is
possible for the bridge and vxlan modules to get stuck in an infinite
loop. See the individual changelogs for detailed explanation of the
problem and solution.
The bug was originally reported against the bridge module, but after
auditing the code base I found that the buggy code was copied from the
vxlan module. This patch set fixes both modules. Could not find more
instances of the problem.
Please consider both patches for stable releases.

bridge: Avoid infinite loop when suppressing NS messages with invalid
options
vxlan: Avoid infinite loop when suppressing NS messages with invalid
options
