The programs in netem are compiled and run on the build machine, but they
use the CFLAGS that are meant for the target system and often times, these

Hi Stephen,

I resend you this patch once more. This time I updated the documentation
too (may be that was the reason why you didn't take it before?).

Please tell me if there are other things missing in this patch
It applies on iproute2 git tree.

Regards,
Benjamin

Description:
------------

This patch adds support for the IFLA_NET_NS_PID type. It is used to
move network devices between network namespaces.

The syntax is:
ip link set DEVICE netns PID

PID is the pid of a process in the target network namespace.

The current iproute version uses "protocol all" by default
if its not specified. This is actually only useful for creating
new filters, on deletion an unset protocol is treated as wildcard.

The kernel timers are exposed in user hz not kernel hz

All timer values from kernel are supposed to be in constant
units or user hz value.

The function get_hz() returns the psched hz value which is wrong
for anything other than tc usage. Should be user hz instead, but
kernel is broken (patch sent) and this code doesn't get hit on
current systems (netlink is used first).

Copy sanitized headers from 2.6.26-rc6

Bugfix: use strtoul rather than strtol for bstrtol to handle large key/mask.
Deinline larger functions to save space.

Use the standard POSIX inet_pton to convert from string to IPV4
address. This avoids problems where ip parses "127.2" wrong.

Hi Stephen:

[IP] xfrm: Allow replay setting

For certain applications there is a requirement to start the
sequence number from a point other than the default.  As it
is the kernel provides an interface to do that but it isn't
available through the ip(8) command.  Since we're encouraging
people to migrate over to ip(8) for manual keying, it is useful
to have this ability there.

This patch adds support for setting replay sequence numbers
through ip(8).

[PATCH 2/3] [TC/FILTERS] Expose the filter protocol

Expose the filter protocol so it can be used by underlying
classifiers when they need it.
Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca>

Don't break scripts that depend on previous offset/value format.
Introduce a new -pretty flag for decoding, and (*gasp*) document
the formatting arguments.

The addr[] was being used signed, but this causes hash calcultion
to overflow. Originally reported as Debian bug 480173.

Fix "ip addr flush" the same way "ip neigh flush" was previously fixed,
by bailing out if the flush hasn't completed after MAX_ROUNDS (10) tries.

Write something about the tweak to enable promoting secondary addresses
instead of deleting them together with the primary address as discussed
in this thread on the netdev mailing list:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg52294.html

The claim that this is supported since 2.6.15 is based on looking at
changes to net/ipv4/devinet.c in the linux-2.6 git tree:

Version 2.6.15 was released 2006-01-03 and seems to include the code from
both the above commits.

This one also caught by lintian (debian package checker tool).

    [IPROUTE]: Fix classifier help

    The new check whether the user has specified a protocol makes
    "ip filter <type> help" fails with "protocol is required".

    This could be fixed by moving it further down, but a more user-friendly
    way it to simply use ETH_P_ALL as default if nothing is specified.

I was asked to at least mention the xfrm option in ip manual. I added
all usage into ip.8 and try to write some basic information about xfrm.
If someone want complete it, I'll be happy.

Hello Stephen!

The patches branch of the debian packaging repo, at
git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/pkg-iproute, now has four patches still
pending. (Not resending, since they've all been posted multiple times before.
Pick them up from the repo if you're interested.)

Here's the latest addition:
