Will you use this outside of 'ip route get' as well? If so, how? I'm
asking because you propose to add the check and new behaviour to bypass
the routing rules to the routing fastpath, wouldn't it be better to
handle this in inet_rtm_getroute()?
The way IPv6 code is structured it seemed more appropriate to pass in a
table id as part of the flow. I made IPv4 consistent with that approach.
The question is: Are you planning to use the new table_id in flowi
in the actual datapath as well? It seems entirely wrong to add
weight to the fast path for a control plane feature.
No plans at the moment.
