One small comment about your patch: It changes the semantics of ipv6_addr_cmp() from returning sort order A <=> B to boolean A != B. This may be fine, but not if there is users of ipv6_addr_cmp() expecting the sort order property.
There's no such users, AFAIK. David, I'll do some test. Thanks.
Yes, but we could have some. For instance, because I did not have ipv6_addr_cmp() into a userland daemon (I agree, it is not the kernel :-) ), I have implemented my own one into the Quagga's ripngd that must return a sort order. It is used to build incrementely some classes of route which have the same nexthop.
So, even if it is not used yet into the kernel, it is a nice feature that we should keep.
My 2 cents, Vincent - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
