Subject: [PATCH] Disable multipath cache routing
Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 19:52:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060520025243.GA9486@taniwha.stupidest.org> (raw)
Apparently IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED isn't entirely safe to use and
will oops the kernel "sooner or later". The Kconfig comment says
EXPERIMENTAL but it's not.
Let's go further and mark it BROKEN for now (leaving the comment as-is
though). If nobody steps up to resurrect this code we can discuss
removing it entirely.

Normally, equal cost multipath routing is not supported by the
routing cache. If you say Y here, alternative routes are cached
