Currently they call ioctls on the tunnel devices to create these, for which the code needs to override the address limit, which is a "feature" I plan to get rid of. Instead this patchset adds a new ->ndo_tunnel_ctl that can be used for the tunnel configuration using struct ip_tunnel_parm. The method is either invoked from a helper that does the uaccess and can be wired up as ndo_do_ioctl method, or directly from the magic IPV4/6 ioctls that create tunnels with kernel space arguments. Changes since v2: - properly propagate errors in ipip6_tunnel_prl_ctl ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- a890761798169d817ad41340313dd3472ad3ea38
