@markj I guess you mean help debugging IPv6 ND function ;) Looks good to me. Comment Actions The use-case which motivated this is neighbour discover over netmap, where the kernel doesn't know which multicast addresses to subscribe to. IMO that is not quite right, per the comments in D46524. Comment Actions I'd support if you can include that in the final commit message :)
Comment Actions Thanks for taking a look. Certainly, my original description is basically useless. :( |
