From 4f80116d3df3b23ee4b83ea8557629e1799bc230 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roopa Prabhu Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 13:56:46 -0700 Subject: net: ipv4: add sysctl for nexthop api compatibility mode Current route nexthop API maintains user space compatibility with old route API by default. Dumps and netlink notifications support both new and old API format. In systems which have moved to the new API, this compatibility mode cancels some of the performance benefits provided by the new nexthop API. This patch adds new sysctl nexthop_compat_mode which is on by default but provides the ability to turn off compatibility mode allowing systems to run entirely with the new routing API. Old route API behaviour and support is not modified by this sysctl. Uses a single sysctl to cover both ipv4 and ipv6 following other sysctls. Covers dumps and delete notifications as suggested by David Ahern. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
