Hi Dave,
these are the updated rtnl_link API patches and dummy, ifb and VLAN
conversions. The documentation is not quite done yet, I'll finish
it when I find some spare time.
Changes since the last post:
- fix attribute parsing after module load
- fix module aliases
- refuse all unsupported options on device creation
- turn xstats_size into a function to calculate the size since
it turned out not to be flexible enough for my multiqueue
simulator device
- use const and __read_mostly where possible
- rename IFLA_INFO_NAME to IFLA_INFO_KIND
VLAN:
- remove broken VLAN_MASK patch
- support REORDER_HDR flag
- support setting initial MTU
The patches are against net-2.6, but AFAICS the only thing in net-2.6.23
conflicting with them is the previous series.
Please apply/replace, thanks :)
