I started working on a patchset to clean up all the error paths, allow changing all pararmeters for those not supporting it yet and to add the action bits for tcindex, route, and rsvp. Finishing it and writing all the test cases to do proper testing will take some time but I hope to have it ready for early 2.6.11 inclusion. Just to let you know so we don't do redundant work. |
