Subject: [iproute2 00/22] Support for stateless configuration (read from /etc and /usr)

Dear iproute2 maintainers,

this patch series adds support for the so called "stateless" configuration
pattern, i.e. reading the default configuration from /usr while allowing
overriding it in /etc, giving system administrators a way to define local
configuration without changing any distro-provided files.

In practice this means that each configuration file FOO is loaded
from /usr/lib/iproute2/FOO unless /etc/iproute2/FOO exists.

Gioele Barabucci (22):
  Makefile: Rename CONFDIR to CONF_ETC_DIR
  Makefile: Add CONF_USR_DIR for system-installed configuration files
  include/utils.h: Use /usr/lib/iproute2 as default CONF_USR_DIR
  tc/tc_util: Read class names from provided path, /etc/, /usr
  tc/m_ematch: Read ematch from /etc and /usr
  lib/bpf_legacy: bpf_hash_init: Relay returned value
  lib/bpf_legacy: Read bpf_pinning from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: rtnl_hash_initialize: Relay returned value
  lib/rt_names: rtnl_tab_initialize: Relay returned value
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_protos from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_scopes from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_names from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_tables from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_dsfield from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read group from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read nl_protos from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_protos.d/* from /etc and /usr
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_protos.d/* using rtnl_tab_initialize_dir
  lib/rt_names: Read protodown_reasons.d/* using rtnl_tab_initialize_dir
  lib/rt_names: Read rt_tables.d/* using rtnl_hash_initialize_dir
  man: Document lookup of configuration files in /etc and /usr
  Makefile: Install default configuration files in /usr
