From the fist commit log, you probably add functionality providing SA state changes in your private key manager, which current implementation does not. Maybe it's worthwhile to elaborate the missing functionality than add those checking, because both key manage (pfkeyv2/netlink) in use has "acquire" and "compile_policy" at the same time. -- 浮沉随浪只记今朝笑 --fan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
