Currently incoming ARP Replies, for example via a DHT-PUT message, do not update the timeout for an already existing DAT entry. These ARP Replies are dropped instead. This however defeats the purpose of the DHCPACK snooping, for instance. Right now, a DAT entry in the DHT will be purged every five minutes, likely leading to a mesh-wide ARP Request broadcast after this timeout. Which then recreates the entry. The idea of the DHCPACK snooping is to be able to update an entry before a timeout happens, to avoid ARP Request flooding. This patch fixes this issue by updating a DAT entry on incoming ARP Replies even if a matching DAT entry already exists. While still filtering the ARP Reply towards the soft-interface, to avoid duplicate messages on the client device side.

README
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.
