Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask, but at least Linux
kernel 2.4.3 MAINTAINERS list the address for general networking. So I
try anyway.

I have a question. Is it possible to add a few symbols to netsyms.c for
export?

We are doing some networking development with linux kernel modules, and
would like to have a few symbols exported for modules in the standard
kernel so that we don't need to patch the kernel.

The symbols we'd like to have in netsyms.c are:

#include <net/ip6_route.h>

EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip_forward_options);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip6_route_input);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ip6_route_output);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ipv6_parse_exthdrs);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(ipv6_statistics);

I see that in IPv4 side at least ip_route_input and ip_route_output are
exported. Could it also be possible for IPv6?

Are there any rules for exported symbols?

Yours,

Tommi Linnakangas
