I mean we > planned to send af_unix, af_packet, af_netlink, af_inet and af_inet6. I think that should behave like a small squaw eating the bear. Right now we _can_ send netlink preparatory work + PF_UNIX + PF_PACKET. This code is ready, functional and complete. Let's send it now to reduce amount of work for maintaining. > What is the level of functionnality we want to provide with ipv4 and > ipv6. For example we have addresss autoconfiguration for ipv6, shall we > send it ? after that, we can continue the work. I think that we can send all remaining IPv4 code after while in this cycle. The code has been significantly changed and porting/splitting/re-splitting takes longer than I have expected. All sysctl/sysfs handling is out of scope for me now and, I think, Dave is not a right person to accept this code. It will be very good if we'll have functional IPv4 in this kernel. All other staff looks like a pure bonus. At least we should test and stabilize it. > What about the todo list Pavel planned to do ?
