Patrick McHardy: memory mapped netlink tree is available for testing

Patrick (aka kaber) has just made available his work on memory mapped netlink. Both the kernel and the libmnl part are available on git.kernel.org.

You can pull kernel code other net-next tree:

git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/nl-mmap-2.6.git

Libmnl code can be fetched:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/libmnl-mmap.git

Once done a NETLINK_MMAP kernel compilation option is then available via make config.

Documentation is available in the Linux tree. It is in the file: Documentation/networking/netlink_mmap.txt

  1. this is one thing for which i am waiting for log time. This will improve ips performance.thanks

  2. I was not able to access this git tree. Looks like its not available any more. I tried patches available, but its not working properly. Please point me to the proper code if available to be tried.

  3. Where is the patch available? What are the kernel versions that can have this patch integrated with?
