IPRoute2 2.6.28

[willimm]

New release. Just notised it:

From RELNOTES:

[020116] ! 1. Compile with rh-7.2 ! 2. What the some people blame on socklen_t defined in unistd.h? Check.

• Kim Woelders <kim@…>, various useful fixups: compilation with old kernels, cross-compiling, "all" == "any" in prefix spec.
• Collected from my disk, cleaned and packed to directory iproute2/misc/ several utilities: ss, nstat, ifstat, rtacct, arpd and module tcp_diag. Writing some docs. me.
• prepared patchlet for pidentd to use tcp_diag.
• David Miller: 64bit (and even worse 64bit kernel/32 bit user :-) fixes to above. tcp_diag is merged to main tree.
• Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@…>: various flaws in ss
• Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@…>: oops, more aggressive caching of names opened old bugs: ip started to print garbage in some places.
• Robert Olsson, rt_cache_stat. Renamed to rtstat.
• An old bug in "ip maddr ls": reduntant empty lines in output. Seeing this crap for ages but lucky match of desire/ability to repair and a huff about this happened only today. :-)
• "Mr. James W. Laferriere" <babydr@…> doc: option to produce ps output for non-a4 and not only 2 pages/sheet.
• Jamal's patch for ingres qdisc.
• Bernd Eckenfels <ecki@…>: deleted orphaned bogus #include in include/utils.h.
• Julian Anastasov <ja@…>: uninitialized fields in nexthop producing funny "dead" nexthops in multipath routes. Stupid me, look at the first line in [010803]... Was it difficult to guess this that time? People blame for several months. :-) Special thanks to bert hubert <ahu@…> who raised the issue in netdev. Thanks and apologies to Terry Schmidt <terry@…>, Ruben Puettmann <ruben.puettmann@…>, Mark Ivens <mivens@…>.
• willy tarreau <wtarreau@…>: "make install" target.
• Tunable limit for sch_sfq. Patch to kernel activating this is about to be submitted. Reminded by Adi Nugroho <Adi@…>.

[010824]

• ip address add sets scope of loopback addreses to "host". Advised by David Miller.
• ZIP! <zip@…> and David Ford <david@…> Some strcpy's changed to strncpy's.
• David Ford <david@…>, test for compilation with gcc3.
• David Ford <david@…>. Damn, I broke rtnl_talk in previous snapshot.

[010803]

• If "dev" is not specified in multipath route, ifindex remained uninitialized. Grr. Thanks to Kunihiro Ishiguro <kunihiro@…>.
• Rafal Maszkowski <rzm@…>, batch mode tc. The most old patch.
• Updates list of data protocol ids. Lots of reporters. I bring my apologies.
• Jan Rekorajski <baggins@…>. Updated list of datalink types.
• Christina Chen <chenchristina@…>. Bug in parsing IPv6 address match in u32.
• Pekka Savola <pekkas@…>. ip -6 route flush dev lo stuck on deleting root of the table.
• Werner. dsmark fixes.
• Alexander Demenshin <aldem-reply@…>. Old miracleous bug in ip monitor. It was puzzle, people permanently blame that it prints some crap.
• Rui Prior <rprior@…>. f_route failed to resolve fromif. Werner also noticed this and sent patch. Bad place... [RETHINK]
• Kim Woelders <kim@…>.
  • changes in Makefile for cross-compile
  • understand "all" as alias for "any"
  • bug in iprule.c

! [ NB. Also he sent patch for kernel. Do not forget! ]

• Werner. Fix to tc core files: wrong exits etc.
• Bernd Jendrissek <berndj@…>. Some sanitizations of tc.c

!* Marian Jancar <marian.jancar@…>. He say q_tbf prints wrong latency! ! Seems, he is wrong.

• Werner (and Nikolai Vladychevski <niko@…>) check ->print_copts to avoid segfault.

Ole Husgaard <sparre@…> and Jan Kasprzak <kas@…>

• IP command reference manual is published (ip-cref.tex). I am sorry, but tc-cref.tex is still not ready, to be more exact the draft does not describe current tc 8-)

  • (MAIN) "flush" command for addr, neigh and route.
  • error messages are sanitized; now it does not print usage() page on each error.
