---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
|
||||
When: in 2.6.23
|
||||
Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
|
||||
us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have
|
||||
been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
|
||||
implementation are blocking more critical core networking
|
||||
development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
|
||||
enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
|
||||
(interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
|
||||
handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
|
||||
errors impossible too because they get called after we've
|
||||
totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
|
||||
This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
|
||||
has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
|
||||
this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.
