I get the following error "arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 1.1.245.192 on vlan320" I can't explain. (IP edited). I only setup 1.1.245.192/31 between this vlan which parent is a VF from a MLX5EN(4) card .

I am using a generated mac address and distribute IPs over OSPF  with bird. 

What could trigger this error? The doc says

```
It "arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for %d.%d.%d.%d"
The route for the referenced host points to a device upon which ARP is
required, but ARP was unable to allocate a routing table entry in which
to store the host's MAC address.
This usually points to a misconfigured routing table.
It can also occur if the kernel cannot allocate memory.
```

But I am not sure what to check. Any hint is welcome :)

The configuration for this vlan is locally:

```
