This patch fixes bug in Metadata ematch attributes parser

strtoul on error return ULONG_MAX, not LONG_MAX

Patch attached as file

After changing the DESTDIR the installated binaries have some issues
due to hard coded paths. For example, using distributions on NetEm
would segfault.

I've changed iplink.c and tc_util.c so they are now aware of DESTDIR.
Along with that change I needed to change the main Makefile so it
defines the DESTDIR macro when calling gcc.

I also changed the paths so that during the installation sbin, etc,
share and lib directories are created directly inside of the DESTDIR,
instead of creating a usr directory inside that. That's the behaviour
of most packages out there, so I think most users will be expecting
that to happen.

The command "ip addrlabel add/del" displays incorrect error message when provided with insufficient inputs. This patch fixes it in par with "ip addr add/del".

Currently:
# ./ip addrlabel add
RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range

# ./ip addr add
Not enough information: "dev" argument is required.

After patch:
# ./ip addrlabel add
Not enough information: "prefix" argument is required.

Copy santized version of headers from 2.6.26 final version.

Don't just silently drop.

The current kernel generates 71 possible header fields, but
MAX_FIELDS in lnstat is only 64. This leads to referencing outside
of the array. To fix, increase size of array and chop off parsing
at MAX_FIELDS - 1.

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

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:

both the above commits.

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