Re: [PATCH ipvs,v2 00/18] Support v6 real servers in v4 pools and vice versa

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey,

Thanks again for your fantastic review, Julian. As you mentioned, I omitted the first two patches. I'll include them in v3 and be more careful in the future.

Additionally, I've done an interactive rebase wherein I exec make -j && ./scripts/checkpatch.pl $(git format-patch) between every pick, so hopefully this will be less sloppy. The only warnings were related to splitting string literals across lines, which is done elsewhere in the file.

I've implemented the requested changes and will do the functional tests. If all goes well I will mail v3 this evening.

Yes you are right.  I forgot the first two patches.  Will include them in v3

Yeah that's right

Duh, thanks

I'll split this up and put it at the end.

Yeah, I was kind of afraid that it'd be confusing for people, but I think that the code is separate enough that it won't be.

Most embarrassing screw up :(

But yeah, these are just really unpleasantly long identifiers. I'll either need to break the lines in weird ways or shorten identifiers or both.

That's scary.  Good catch.

I'll add "daddr=" to each

Yeah, both route types have dst in the same place and I imagine that's by design.

Yeah I was able to pull this out.

Yeah, I remembered fixing this but must have done this elsewhere.

Yeah that's fair. I was concerned about not attempting to kfree_skb skb which is why I made the change, but the fact that it made me miss something else convinces me that it's problematic.

Ah, that makes sense.  Thanks

Can this just be else to spare the #ifdef lines?
