No, it needs these patches too. I did harmonize them a little bit, so that e.g. the expiry check will be done during lookup, but I didn't add an equivalent to flush-by-proxy. One issue it does address is that the path table can eventually shrink by virtue of the rhashtable, whereas now the bucket size is ever-growing. > > Let me know if you want me to base on top. > > I would like them to go in first... my experience of the kernel code > (outside some parts of the wifi stack) is not that good, so I don't > know how long I would need to adapt the patches to your new data > structures.
