NUD_STALE is used when the caller(e.g. arp_process()) can't guarantee neighbour reachability. If the entry was NUD_VALID and lladdr is unchanged, the entry state should not be changed. Currently the code puts an extra "NUD_CONNECTED" condition. So if old state was NUD_DELAY or NUD_PROBE (they are NUD_VALID but not NUD_CONNECTED), the state can be changed to NUD_STALE. This may cause problem. Because NUD_STALE lladdr doesn't guarantee reachability, when we send traffic, the state will be changed to NUD_DELAY. In normal case, if we get no confirmation (by dst_confirm()), we will change the state to NUD_PROBE and send probe traffic. But now the state may be reset to NUD_STALE again(e.g. by broadcast ARP packets), so the probe traffic will not be sent. This situation may happen again and again, and packets will be sent to an non-reachable lladdr forever. The fix is to remove the "NUD_CONNECTED" condition. After that the "NEIGH_UPDATE_F_WEAK_OVERRIDE" condition (used by IPv6) in that branch will be redundant, so remove it. This change may increase probe traffic, but it's essential since NUD_STALE lladdr is unreliable. To ensure correctness, we prefer to resolve lladdr, when we can't get confirmation, even while remote packets try to set NUD_STALE state.
