Neighbour entries are programmed to the device's table so that the correct destination MAC will be specified in a packet after it was routed.
Despite being programmed to the device and unlike routes and FDB entries, neighbour entries are currently not marked as offloaded. This patchset changes that. Patch #1 is a preparatory patch to make sure we only mark a neighbour as offloaded in case it was successfully programmed to the device. Patch #2 sets the offload indication on neighbours. Patch #3 adds a test to verify above mentioned functionality. Patched iproute2 version that prints the offload indication is available here [1].
