* iproute2: make ip route list to search by metric too @ 2017-11-17 0:40 Alexander Zubkov 2017-11-18 1:44 ` Alexander Zubkov 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Alexander Zubkov @ 2017-11-17 0:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: netdev Hello all, Currently routes in the Linux routing table have these "key" fields: prefix, tos, table, metric (as I know). I.e. we cannot have two different routes with the same set of this fields. And "ip route list" command can be provided with all but one of those fields. We cannot pass metric to it and this is inconvenient. I ask if this behaviour can be changed by someone. We can even use "secondary" fields, for example type, dev or via, but not metric unfortunately. Sorry, I can not provide patches. I have written code long time ago. I tried to trace it, but as I see it parses arguments and fills some structures. And then my tries to understand failed. I opened the bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197897, but I was pointed out that this mailing list is a better place for this question. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Please take a look at the attached patch. I'm only not sure if RTA_PRIORITY is enough. Because the print_route function prints "metric" also for some situations with RTA_METRICS, which I haven't managed to understand.
