AIUI this is a legacy feature from many years ago. All of the link files are builtin, so this is only useful for out of tree modules. iproute2 should not be supporting such an option, so really this code should be ripped out, not updated. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I can not agree with your position. iproute2 is a main management utility for all network interface types, the kernel design supports new link protocols (via loadable modules), Netlink explicitly supports link management extensions, so it was a very reasonable decision to add the support for new link types to ip-link via loadable plugins. Loadable ip link plugins support is helpful at the initial project stage as well as for niche protocols, since such feature allows to introduce new protocol support without forcing users to rebuild anything. So, ripping out link plugins will make the life of many people harder without any obvious benefits for anyone else. As for the patch, it is intended to make developer life easier by allowing them to focus on development instead of maintaining a fork of iproute2 source tree. The patch introduces the same functionality to override plugins loading directory for ip, as we have in tc for a long time. Even the environment variable name was selected to be similar to that is used by tc. -- Sergey ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
