For the sake of the archives... this is a slightly complicated patch - Ralf did the "master" patch, which added "backend independent" code + Linux + Windows. It wasn't backported to 2.6, because there was no need, as "the DCO implementations on Linux and Windows that 2.6 supports" do not support float notifications, and it will not be added.
Later, FreeBSD DCO learned to send float notifications, and since there is no difference in kernel API, this can happen to a 2.6.14 server running on a very recent FreeBSD 14-STABLE system - leading to unexpected issues (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289303). So I backported the "backend independent" parts of Ralf's patch, with an "#if 0" (no backend uses this) - so this patch really does not much yet (it adds the "do not let an instance float to itself" crashbug fix), but does so with the same code as in master. Ralf verified that I got all the bits right. Your patch has been applied to the release/2.6 branch. commit b0b123b3a7d6b64e236bc0b9836cb73d76c130e2 (release/2.6) Author: Ralf Lici Date: Mon Sep 8 10:11:18 2025 +0200 dco: backport OS-independent part of peer float support Signed-off-by: Ralf Lici <r...@mandelbit.com> Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <g...@greenie.muc.de> Acked-by: Ralf Lici <r...@mandelbit.com> Message-Id: <20250908081124.17933-1-g...@greenie.muc.de> URL: https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/59230454/ Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <g...@greenie.muc.de> -- kind regards, Gert Doering _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
