Hello.
This is a first stab at RFC7400. So far we only hook into the NHC framework to
detect the registered GHC types (extension headers, UDP and ICMPv6).
This is aligned with how we detect the NHC frames.
TODO for next is to make possible that we can load multiple nhc modules
for the transmit side. We have a 1(tranmit):n(receive) mapping here, and
we should support all nhc's for receive side.
For tranmsmit side we should have a disable by default and offer a
debugfs entry (nhc framework debugfs support) to enable/disable it
at runtime. It's a 1:nexhdr mapping, so only one for nexthdr can running
at the same time currently. If somebody tries that it should be return
-EBUSY.
I would suggest additional patches:
1. Allow to have register everything and disable compression methods of
all nhcs by default. The receive handling should always possible,
the compression should be disabled by default because other 6LoWPAN
stacks may not support e.g. GHC types.
Maybe we can do a nhc directory for the debugfs interface related entry
for that. So the nhc framework offers some support e.g. enable compression
for nhc xy.
2. Add all you nhc's _after_ all other nhc modules. This will occur that
the first ones has a higher priority. Our priority strategy is then
like the order of the list. See [0].
3. Add "default y" to all nhc's for support receiving always.
That's huge work, but maybe the next steps.
Yes, I will tackle them with the next set. I'm working on the actual
compression and decrompression code for GHC at the moment. Once that is
working I will tackle the items you listed above and put them together
in one patchset.
Otherwise it's looking good and let the NHC framework as first known
about these next header compressions, so:

Thanks. I think with your and Jukka's ACK this set would be ready to land.
