Folks,
As part of the Clearview IPMP work, I've had to rework a bunch of the IP
broadcast and I_{P}{UN}LINK code. While the changes are motivated by the
requirement to keep the IPMP-related codepaths simple, I believe they
stand on their own (as evidenced by the fact that they eliminate about 130
lines of headache-inducing logic from IP). As such, I'm hoping to put
these changes back to Nevada ASAP.
Thirumalai has already agreed to look at these changes (thanks, Thiru!),
but I'd like at least one additional reviewer. The changes are at:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~meem/ipmp-testaddr/
The only file that needs review is ip_if.c. (The in.mpathd-related
changes have already been reviewed -- and yes, they're independent of the
IP changes but ended up here for testing convenience.)
Note: these changes do not attempt to change the any of the (questionable)
existing aspects of the broadcast IRE design, such as having loopback and
non-loopback broadcast IREs, or having classful broadcast IREs. The goal
is just to simplify the code for the existing design.
I'd like feedback by the end of the week.
Thanks!
