Subject: [PATCH] IPv6: NLM_F_* flag support for route creation/changing when using netlink.


Hi!

This patch enables checks for NLM_F_CREATE, NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_EXCL
flags for IPv6 route creation. Checks are performed if netlink header in
info structure is non NULL. Patch is created against Linux 3.1.0-rc4
(Downloaded from kernel.org).

In a nutshell:
NLM_F_CREATE flag is required if new IPv6 route is being created.
If route with same key and metric exists, the route will be changed if
NLM_F_REPLACE flag is given. Else -EEXIST is returned.
Either NLM_F_CREATE or NLM_F_REPLACE must be specified in RTM_NEWROUTE
messages.


Thing to consider:
Will requiring NLM_F_CREATE break lots of existing userspace software?
Anyways, I believe this is justified. Especially in cases where user
wants to change route if it exists, but not create new one if no route
exists. And anyways, creating new routes when NLM_F_CREATE is not
specified is unexpected.

Theory:
Theoretical approach means that everything is well known, but still
nothing works.
Practice:
Practical approach means that everything works but no one knows why.

Thank God we have theory and practice balanced here. Nothing works, and
no one knows why...
