David Ahern says: ==================== net: More movement to fib_nh_common Second set of three with the end goal of enabling IPv6 gateways with IPv4 routes. This set moves: - the ipv4 tracepoint to take a fib_nh_common and updates it to handle a v6 gateway. - consolidates route notifications to use the same fill functions for both ipv4 and ipv6 v4 - enhanced the commit message for patches 1 and 2 v3 - comments from Martin: + renamed FIB_RES_NH to FIB_RES_NHC + removed family check from fib_result_prefsrc + in fib_nexthop_info, renamed nexthop arg to nhc and dropped for_ipv4 arg v2 - dropped patches moving cached routes and exception buckets to fib_nh_common. The goal is allowing a fib6_nh to be used with an IPv4 route. The hold up is the need for separate exception buckets - one for v6 routes and one for v4 routes. When all of the nexthop patches are in, adding a secondi exception bucket pushes IPv6 fib6_info allocations over 256 which means fib6_info allocations roll up to 512. Hence, deferring the patches until some data mining can be done to keep the allocations at 256. ==================== Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
