Backport net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl While most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment, distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch. While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the open source code in the world shows the IN_whatever macros are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=65cab850f0eeaa9180bd2e10a231964f33743edf Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant <ldir@darbyshire-bryant.me.uk> |
