Commit 2c611ad97a82 ("net, neigh: Extend neigh->flags to 32 bit to allow for extensions") enables a new KMSAM warning [1] I think the bug is actually older, because the following intruction only occurred if ndm->ndm_flags had NTF_PROXY set. pn->flags = ndm->ndm_flags; Let's clear all pneigh_entry fields at alloc time.
