The bpf_fib_lookup() helper performs a neighbour lookup for the destination
IP and returns BPF_FIB_LKUP_NO_NEIGH if this fails, with the expectation
that the BPF program will pass the packet up the stack in this case.
However, with the addition of bpf_redirect_neigh() that can be used instead
to perform the neighbour lookup, at the cost of a bit of duplicated work.

For that we still need the target ifindex, and since bpf_fib_lookup()
already has that at the time it performs the neighbour lookup, there is
really no reason why it can't just return it in any case. So let's just
always return the ifindex if the FIB lookup itself succeeds.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
