[mpls-linux-general] MPLS-Linux 1.160 and kernel integration

[<pim...@in...>]

Hi James,

I just tried MPLS-Linux 1.160 with the RSVP daemon and it seems that
things are stable now (I havent been able to crash the kernel so far).
Joy!

Not that I rely on it but:
ipt_MPLS.c does not compile because it uses a two argument
mpls_set_nexthop()
/usr/src/mpls-linux-1.1/patches# grep mpls_set_nexthop linux-kernel.diff
+void mpls_set_nexthop(struct rtable*, struct fib_result*, u32);
+               mpls_set_nexthop((*pskb)->dst,mplsinfo->key); <---
offending line
+                       mpls_set_nexthop(rt,res,itag);

About the kernel integration: we (as in dsMPLS) dont need additional
features.
Note that the code freeze for 2.5/2.6 is at October 31. So aiming for
2.7/2.8 seems more realistic.

Pim.
