Re: [BIRD 2.0.x] Netlink: ignore dead routes

❦ 14 janvier 2021 04:18 +01, Ondrej Zajicek:

Although it would make sense to handle dead routes as withdraws instead of just ingore them (for async notification), it does not matter for sync scan, and as i noticed during testing, Linux kernel does not send async notifications (when the flag changes to dead) anyways, so it does not really matter.

It would makes sense to fix Linux for that. I'll try to send a patch and ping here again if it gets accepted. -- Make sure comments and code agree. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
