Subject: Definition of PIM_REGISTER in pim.h
Hi.
About the new file linux/pim.h and the definitions of PIM in linux
2.6.26.
The "#define PIM_REGISTER 1" was in file mroute.h and was protected by
"#ifdef __KERNEL__" until version 2.5.25. In version 2.6.26 this
define is in file pim.h but is no longer protected by a "#ifdef
__KERNEL__".
Is this change intentional?
This change breaks the compilation of software from the project
www.xorp.org. In the file mrt/include/netinet/pim.h for the xorp
software they define PIM messages types and use this code:
/*
* PIM message types
*/
#define PIM_HELLO 0x0 /* PIM-SM and PIM-DM */
#define PIM_REGISTER 0x1 /* PIM-SM only */
#define PIM_REGISTER_STOP 0x2 /* PIM-SM only */
#define PIM_JOIN_PRUNE 0x3 /* PIM-SM and PIM-DM */
#define PIM_BOOTSTRAP 0x4 /* PIM-SM only */
#define PIM_ASSERT 0x5 /* PIM-SM and PIM-DM */
#define PIM_GRAFT 0x6 /* PIM-DM only */
#define PIM_GRAFT_ACK 0x7 /* PIM-DM only */
#define PIM_CAND_RP_ADV 0x8 /* PIM-SM only */
#define PIM_ALL_DF_ELECTION 0xa /* Bidir-PIM-SM only */
You can see the bug report with more details in:

I am one of the two persons that is packaging xorp for Debian. I am
talking in my personal name, not in the name of Debian, xorp project
or employer. I am asking this to you because the problematic change
was possible introduced by:
commit 2e8046271f68198dd37451017c1a4a2432e4ec68

[IPV4] MROUTE: Move PIM definitions to <linux/pim.h>.

I am free to give you more information if you need. I am sorry if any
of my facts is wrong.

--------------
The bug report for xorp.org is in
http://bugzilla.xorp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=767 and they have
found a solution. But I still believe the bug is on Linux Kernel
Headers.
