New Revision: 270868
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/270868
Log:
Remove ability to write to struct if_data residing in struct ifnet
via net.link.generic.IFMIB_IFDATA.*.IFDATA_GENERAL sysctl. Reasons
for removal are:
- No code in tree uses this possibility.
- The documentation ifmib(4) doesn't say that such possibility
exist. The example provided in manual page only reads data.
- On many interfaces the feature simply doesn't work, since they
do accounting in hardware, and overwrite if_data on tick.
