[mpls-linux-devel] neigh_table_find removed in 2.6.2

[Ramon C. <cas...@in...>]

Hi,

Little question here: neigh_table_find has been removed in 2.6.2

The original goal was to manage mpls_dsts but reusing the AF_INET
AF_INET6 neighbour tables (lookup a neighbour and hold it in the mpls_dst)

The problem is that now I don't see how we can do this... We should not 
access the neigh_tables list & lock directly. Maybe we should manage our 
own neighbours and a AF_MPLS neighbour table... I'm starting to think that 
this is the best approach, since we can even cache hh objects with 
ETH_P_MPLS_UC....

Thoughts? Maybe we should start bugging ne...@os... for comments. 

Regards,
R.



RFC: 
        /* Set next hop MPLS attr */
        memcpy(&md->md_nh,nh,sizeof(struct sockaddr));

        /*
         * Lookup for the next hop (neighbour) in the AF_INET/AF_INET6
         * neighbour table. (neigh_table_find removed in 2.6.2)
         */

	tbl = neigh_table_find (....)

        /*
         * AF_INET neighbour keys are their addr.
         * Look for the neighbour (create if needed)
         * (neigh_lookup & neigh_create hold a ref)
         */
        md->u.dst.neighbour = __neigh_lookup(tbl, data, dev, 1);
