Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
I'm (sorry) again not totally happy with it - it introduces the configure
changes for sitnl, namely, breaking the "do route and ifconfig command
exist?" check on all Linux systems (have_sitnl=yes is unconditionally
set for Linux, and that will then always skip the check), without
actually providing calls to sitnl yet. A better granularity would have
introduced the configure checks only at the very end, when the actual
HAVE_SITNL code is not only "it is there and compiles" but also functional,
and route/ifconfig are kicked out.
Additonally, it introduces "sitnl.h" which is not included in
openvpn_SOURCES and not referenced from anywhere... which is also an
extra burden on me (will this disappear in a future patch? will it
be included? will it appear in openvpn_SOURCES eventually?).
The code in networking_sitnl.* looks mostly reasonable, though I
wonder if it wasn't more elegant to do the sitnl_socket() dance only
once in the init, and store the file descriptor in the context
afterwards... right now, you're doing the whole open/bind/../close
for every function called.
The upcoming networking_we_are_done() function doing the gc_free()
calls for non-linux implementations could then do the close() for
sitnl...
Besides this, there are a few warts...
+ if (up)
+ req.i.ifi_flags |= IFF_UP;
+ else
+ req.i.ifi_flags &= ~IFF_UP;
..
+ ifindex = if_nametoindex(iface);
+ if (ifindex == 0) {
.. which you might want to run through uncrustify eventually...
