Re: Patch: Fix userland build failure in linux/if_tunnel.h

[Sergei Poselenov]

Hello Steffen,

Hm, I received a confirmation, that my fix was applied
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg103860.html

However, it indeed didn't find their way into the mainline.
I have no idea why, received no objections.

I'm sending the reply to the resp. mailing lists too; hope you don't
mind.

Regards,
Sergei

No, i think it didn't. This confirmation is related to a patch from
Joe Perches to the MAINTAINERS file.

What are the maintainers saying?

That posting doesn't say that your patch got applied, it says
that Joe Perches's MAINTAINERS file patch got applied.

Look at the context of what I'm replying to, rather than the
fact that you see "Applied." and it happens to be in a thread
you started with another patch.

Your patch is not necessary, current iproute2 sources compile
just fine without your change.  iproute2 got changed to include
a local copy of linux/ip_tunnel.h which is modified so that it
compiles properly in userspace.
