265 | What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4 | ||
266 | When: in 2.6.23 | ||
267 | Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving | ||
268 | us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have | ||
269 | been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's | ||
270 | implementation are blocking more critical core networking | ||
271 | development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution | ||
272 | enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs | ||
273 | (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be | ||
274 | handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling | ||
275 | errors impossible too because they get called after we've | ||
276 | totally commited to creating a route object, for example). | ||
277 | This problem has existed for years and no forward progress | ||
278 | has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage | ||
279 | this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it. | ||
