BTW, it's probably worth highlighting these parts of this patch:
First off, ip_dev_find() is exported again:
> --- linux-2.6.git/net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c 2006-01-16 10:28:29.000000000
> -0800
> +++ linux-2.6.ib/net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c 2006-01-16 16:14:24.000000000
> -0800
> @@ -666,4 +666,5 @@ void __init ip_fib_init(void)
> }
>
> EXPORT_SYMBOL(inet_addr_type);
> +EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip_dev_find);
> EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip_rt_ioctl);
And then it's used here:
> +int rdma_translate_ip(struct sockaddr *addr, struct rdma_dev_addr *dev_addr)
> +{
> + struct net_device *dev;
> + u32 ip = ((struct sockaddr_in *) addr)->sin_addr.s_addr;
> + int ret;
> +
> + dev = ip_dev_find(ip);
> + if (!dev)
> + return -EADDRNOTAVAIL;
> +
> + ret = copy_addr(dev_addr, dev, NULL);
> + dev_put(dev);
> + return ret;
> +}
And also here to find the local device to use when connecting to a
loopback address:
> +static int addr_resolve_local(struct sockaddr_in *src_in,
> + struct sockaddr_in *dst_in,
> + struct rdma_dev_addr *addr)
> +{
> + struct net_device *dev;
> + u32 src_ip = src_in->sin_addr.s_addr;
> + u32 dst_ip = dst_in->sin_addr.s_addr;
> + int ret;
> +
> + dev = ip_dev_find(dst_ip);
> + if (!dev)
> + return -EADDRNOTAVAIL;
> +
> + if (!src_ip) {
> + src_in->sin_family = dst_in->sin_family;
> + src_in->sin_addr.s_addr = dst_ip;
> + ret = copy_addr(addr, dev, dev->dev_addr);
> + } else {
> + ret = rdma_translate_ip((struct sockaddr *)src_in, addr);
> + if (!ret)
> + memcpy(addr->dst_dev_addr, dev->dev_addr, MAX_ADDR_LEN);
> + }
> +
> + dev_put(dev);
> + return ret;
> +}
I don't really have an opinion one way or another about this usage,
but I think it's a good idea to make sure that this stuff doesn't get
lost in all the other code, since it is (re)exporting a function that
is currently private to networking.
