Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Support more than 32 MIFS
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 11:27:34 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200709232734.12814-1-mark.tomlinson@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)

The function ip6mr_mfc_add() declared an array of ttls. If MAXMIFS is
large, this would create a large stack frame. This is fixed, and made
more efficient, by passing mf6cc_ifset to ip6mr_update_thresholds().

As background to this patch, we have MAXMIFS set to 1025 in our kernel.
This creates other issues apart from what this patch fixes, but this
change does make the IPv4 and IPv6 code look more similar, and reduces
total amount of code. Without the double handling of TTLs, I think it is
also easier to understand. Hence I thought it could still become part of
the main kernel.
