Before that, the logic besides lle_create() was the following:
return existing if found, create if not. This behaviour was error-prone
since we had to deal with 'sudden' static<>dynamic lle changes.
This commit fixes bunch of different issues like:
- refcount leak when lle is converted to static.
Simple check case:
console 1:
while true;
do for i in `arp -an|awk '$4~/incomp/{print$2}'|tr -d '()'`;
do arp -s $i 00:22:44:66:88:00 ; arp -d $i;
done;
done
console 2:
ping -f any-dead-host-in-L2
console 3:
# watch for memory consumption:
vmstat -m | awk '$1~/lltable/{print$2}'
- possible problems in arptimer() / nd6_timer() when dropping/reacquiring
lock.
New logic explicitly handles use-or-create cases in every lla_create
user. Basically, most of the changes are purely mechanical. However,
we explicitly avoid using existing lle's for interface/static LLE records.
* While here, call lle_event handlers on all real table lle change.
* Create lltable_free_entry() calling existing per-lltable
lle_free_t callback for entry deletion
