[PATCH net-next 0/5] ipv6: cleanup after rt6_genid removal

[PATCH net-next 0/5] ipv6: cleanup after rt6_genid removal

[Hannes Frederic Sowa]

Leftover patches after rt6_genid removal after 705f1c869d577c ("ipv6:
remove rt6i_genid").

Major two changes are:
* keep fib6_sernum per namespace to reduce number of flushes in case
  system has high number of namespaces
* make fn_sernum updates cheaper

Hannes Frederic Sowa (5):
  ipv6: minor fib6 cleanups like type safety, bool conversion, inline
    removal
  ipv6: make rt_sernum atomic and serial number fields ordinary ints
  ipv6: only generate one new serial number per fib mutation
  ipv6: make fib6 serial number per namespace
  ipv6: don't walk node's leaf during serial number update

[PATCH net-next 4/5] ipv6: make fib6 serial number per namespace

[Hannes Frederic Sowa]

Try to reduce number of possible fn_sernum mutation by constraining them
to their namespace.

Also remove rt_genid which I forgot to remove in 705f1c869d577c ("ipv6:
remove rt6i_genid").

While you are on it, I think these *_t types don't actually need "_t",
they are not typedef's anyway. But this definitely could be a folllowup patch.

Yeah, maybe, I was used to do it like that in user space because of

I think it is ok, also I just send v2 with your proposed changes.
