This patchset provides modifications around the routes initialization for ipv6. Actually the init functions does not return an error code so the protocol can not be notified that there were an error while initializing the routing subsystems.
The patchset make the init functions to return an error code, so the ipv6 can safely handle the error and fail gracefully. The error code can also let to catch the kmem_cache_creation failure without doing a radical panic. That's allow just to fail to load the ipv6 module without crashing down the machine. -- -- 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
