From b9f5f52cca3e94f1e7509f366aa250ebbe1ed0b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 16:03:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: neighbour table ABI problem The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the real system HZ value which is problematic. Linux has standardized on keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running internally at some other value. This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of iproute2 utilities. But these utilities are already broken since they are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older utilities will just print wrong values. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
