Subject: [PATCHSET] IPv4 FIB configuration rework
Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2006 21:38:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060808193822.104083150@postel.suug.ch> (raw)
Replaces the rather ugly struct kern_rta + rtmsg with a new
struct fib_config while converting everything to the new netlink
api. Simplifies the FIB module interface quite a bit and allows
changing internals while keeping a stable netlink interface.
Gets rid of things like passing on netlink_skb_parms all around
the fib code etc.
Also fixes some memory corruptions that could be triggered via
netlink messages, not sure which would actually lead to an oops
though.
