Hi Guillaume, which patches do I need to backport "ppp: rtnetlink device handling" to Linux v4.4 which will be a LongTerm-Supported (LTS) Linux-kernel [0]?
I tried [1] and [2] on top of recent net-next Git tree which will be in Linux v4.5. Currently, your patches are not included in net-next.git#master. In the thread "[net-next] ppp: rtnetlink device handling" [4] you explained the benefits and use-case etc. Checking with git-log shows me these commits... $ git log --oneline --no-merges v4.4-rc8.. drivers/net/ppp net/l2tp 19e8c5713e78 l2tp: rely on ppp layer for skb scrubbing 645eee4eba45 ppp: implement rtnetlink device handling 3a9bce0ae138 ppp: define reusable device creation functions 69d9728d00c7 ppp: declare ppp devices as enumerated interfaces 94dbffe16eb1 ppp: define "ppp" device type 681b4d88ad8e pppox: use standard module auto-loading feature a8acce6aa584 ppp: remove PPPOX_ZOMBIE socket state 8734e485fed5 ppp: don't set sk_state to PPPOX_ZOMBIE in pppoe_disc_rcv() ...is that sufficient for a backport? Where there changes to net(-nex)t infrastructure which I need as well? Thanks in advance.
