Add a new netlink attribute type to the dump request to allow
filtering of the information returned for the respective matching
interfaces.  At this time the only filter defined is to request
virtual function (VF) device info for interfaces that attached VFs.

It will also be possible to extend the request with other yet to be
defined netlink attributes in the future.

The link mode is printed in upper case, and following the general

Hi,

I've attached a trivial patch for iproute2 to allow naming interfaces
created with "ip l2tp add session".

I believe patches should go through the netdev mailing list but this
patch is so small I figured that would just add noise. Hope that's OK.

Originally I thought I would need a bigger patch and was going to take a
stab at implementing something like

ip l2tp add tunnel L2TP_TUNNEL_ARGS
ip link add name NAME  [ LINK_OPTS ] type l2tp L2TP_SESSION_ARGS

(a better interface IMHO) but all the code was there already, all that I
needed to add was option parsing.

Thanks,

João Valverde

Subject: [PATCH] ipl2tp: allow setting session interface name

The kernel supports a link mode attribute (which can be dormant or default).
This attribute is used to control how the link watch engine
handles operstate transistion.

This adds a new parameter to ip link command to allow setting and
displaying the value.
---

There is nothing in the standard that says 0 can't be used as a key.
It makes sense to allow it. Also fix typo where ikey was printed for
when printing okey.

* update synopsis to match "ip address help" output
* specify IPv4, since "IP" is ambiguous
* remove deprecated site scope
* document lifetimes, home, and nodad
* update wording to make sense since page was split from the ip(8) page
* git rid of extra spaces

Debian warning that NAME wasn't parsible

Change the order of evaluation of ip link type arguements to allow
changing parameters of gre tunnels.

The following wouldn't work:
 # ip li add mytunnel type gretap remote 1.1.1.1 key 3
 # ip li set mytunnel type gretap key 9

Follow convention of kernel and keep cscope file around
after make clean.

As reported by Thomas Mühlgrabner <muehltom@cable.vol.at>
in http://bugs.debian.org/662979 :

 When showing htb class configuration with "tc -iec class show",
 the output for Mibit is actually the value for bit.
 Example: configure a class with a ceil of 1000Mibit.
 Output states 1048576000 Mibit.

The cause is missing parenteses in the display code of tc....

(Please also note that a lower value of 100Mibit will be displayed
as 102400 Kibit, which I think is kind of ugly.)

On 64 bit platform, casting to unsigned long long is unnecessary.
Use inttypes.h and stdtypes.h to resolve it.

A new option -p is added to the arpd command that accepts
a time indicating the number of seconds
to wait between kernel arp table polling attempts.
The minimum value is .1 (100ms).

If not specified, polling defaults to 30 seconds.
