Hi, One of the effects of the recent tidy up of the DECnet routing rules code is that we are no longer able to see the difference between reading a rule of type FR_ACT_UNREACHABLE returning -ENETUNREACH and simply running out of rules to look at, which also returns the same thing.
The DECnet code used to return -ESRCH if it ran out of rules in which case the test in dn_route.c (which resulted in DECnet falling back to endnode routing in the -ESRCH case) no longer works. So there seems to be several options to try and solve this: one is to change the error return for running out of rules in fib_rules.c:fib_rules_lookup() to something else (but then that has a knock on effect in the ipv4 code). Another is to add the "not found" error return as a parameter in the struct fib_rules_ops so that both protocols can have their preferred error return. Both solutions seem a bit messy, so I thought I'd ask for some guidance on this before writing a patch, Steve. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
