Hi David,
Do you know the status of your RFC3927 ARP patch? Is it likely to make
it into a mainline kernel?
That would be up to the kernel network maintainers.
There were some discussions about whether it made sense for the kernel
to support the behavior required by the RFC. Other comments debated the
wisdom of using a tightly targeted patch specific to the RFC, or whether
a more general but intrusive solution would be better.
The patch is there. I signed-off-by on it.
If you need RFC3927 compliance, you are free to apply the patch. If the
network maintainers are so inclined, they can do the necessary things
to get it into the mainline.
