[Linux-decnet-user] Routing message grabulator

[Steven W. <st...@gw...>]

Hi,

The initial public version of the DECnet routing message grabulator is
on my kernel patches page:

http://www.chygwyn.com/~steve/kpatch/

Its designed for use with Patrick's DECnet routing software (or indeed
any other routing software that needs to get DECnet routing messages).
Its still alpha test code, so its there more for interest than actual
use at the moment. The plan is to integrate it into 2.5 at some future
date when the userland software is ready and further debugging has been
done on the kernel DECnet routing software.

One of the main problems keeping the DECnet module from coping with module
unloads was the slab destruction problem. This has been fixed in recent
kernels, so I hope that shortly I'll be able to find the time to make
DECnet take advantage of that and get module unloading working again.

In the mean time (and I know I've been rather distracted of late so
apologies if I've missed anything) if there are any outstanding bugs
or issues in the existing kernel code (particularly in 2.4) then please
send them in my direction.

Thanks,

Steve.
