Currently you can configure "equalize" and it looks all fine and dandy.
The kernel has the interface defined, but apparently there's never actually
been any implementation for it (only a never merged patch in the 2.4 era).

I'm suggesting to drop the code to give any potential users of this feature
the benefit of receiving a proper error message. I see it unlikely that
this will be implemented in the near future, but if it ever happens
reviving the iproute2 side should be as easy as git revert this patch.

Macvlan can now optionally support forwarding between its
ports, if they are in "bridge" mode. This adds support
for this option to "ip link add", "ip link set" and "ip
-d link show".

The default mode in the kernel is now "vepa" mode, meaning
"virtual ethernet port aggregator". This mode is used
together with the "hairpin" mode of an ethernet bridge
that the parent of the macvlan device is connected to.
All frames still get sent out to the external interface,
but the adjacent bridge is able to send them back on
the same wire in hairpin mode, so the macvlan ports
are able to see each other, which the bridge can be
configured to monitor and control traffic between
all macvlan instances. Multicast traffic coming in
from the external interface is checked for the source
MAC address and only delivered to ports that have not
yet seen it.

In bridge mode, macvlan will send all multicast traffic
to other interfaces that are also in bridge mode but
not to those in vepa mode, which get them on the way
back from the hairpin.

The third supported mode is "private", which prevents
communication between macvlans even if the adjacent
bridge is in hairpin mode. This behavior is closer to
the original implementation of macvlan but stricly
maintains isolation.

The environment variable could contain format characters, causing
problems. Better to just use it directly.

Unless promote_secondaries has been active deleting the primary address of
an interface will automatically delete all the secondary addresses.

In the case where ip flush requests the primary then secondary addresses to
be removed - which is the order the addresses are returned by the kernel -
this will cause an error as by the time the request to remove a secondary
address is made it will be missing as it will have been deleted in the
course of deleting the primary address.

This approach to solving this problem orders requests for the
deletion of secondary addresses before primary ones providing
rtnl_dump_filter_l(), a version of rtnl_dump_filter() that
iterates over a list of filters. And by providing two specialised
filters print_addrinfo_secondary() and print_addrinfo_primary().

rtnl_dump_filter_l() first iterates over all addresses using
print_addrinfo_secondary(), which appends secondary addresses to the
request buffer.  Then again using print_addrinfo_primary() which appends
primary addresses.

This approach should work regardless of it promote_secondaries is
active or not. And regardless of if any primary of secondary addresses
are present or not.

The new m_xt.c has been updated to use the new names and new api

All the old internal api cruft has also been dropped.

Additionally, a configure script test is added to check for

The kernel takes a lack of options as indication that the fw classifier
should operate in compatibility mode, where marks are mapped directly to

The static libnetlink.a library is exposed to other users in Debian via the
"iproute-dev" package. Apparently people are interested in using it in their
shared libraries and would like to see the code be position independent.

The command "ip mroute show" will only show the first Oif.

mark@flappie:~$ ip mroute show
(192.168.1.1, 224.0.0.123)       Iif: _rename    Oifs: eth1

mark@flappie:~$ cat /proc/net/ip_mr_cache

7B0000E0 0101A8C0 2          0        0        0  0:1    1:1

This shows 2 Oifs here. However, ipmroute.c, function read_mroute_list(), uses sscanf() with a %s mask for oiflist, which stops after the first whitespace (i.e. after Oif 0:1). The patch below fixes this to read until the newline (though I'm not sure whether this is the proper way to fix it).

Revised version of Mike's original patch

Ignore files from cscope, patch, etc.

A bunch of source files look like they're copy & pasted from other files,
and some include header files that they don't actually need.  Since dlfcn
has very specific usage (and is a pain on a static-only system), drop it
where it isn't really needed.
Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

The iptables code supports a "no shared libs" mode where it can be used
without requiring dlfcn related functionality.  This adds similar support
to iproute2 so that it can easily be used on systems like nommu Linux (but
obviously with a few limitations -- no dynamic plugins).

Rather than modify every location that uses dlfcn.h, I hooked the dlfcn.h
header with stub functions when shared library support is disabled.  Then
symbol lookup is done via a local static lookup table (which is generated
automatically at build time) so that internal symbols can be found.

A bunch of misc utils basically reimplement the daemon() function (the
