> Problem Description:
> The RTNLGRP_ND_USEROPT NetLink message introduced in 2.6.24 does not seem to
> include any information as to which netif the user options come from:
>
> struct nduseroptmsg
> {
> unsigned char nduseropt_family;
> unsigned char nduseropt_pad1;
> unsigned short nduseropt_opts_len; /* Total length of options */
> __u8 nduseropt_icmp_type;
> __u8 nduseropt_icmp_code;
> unsigned short nduseropt_pad2;
> /* Followed by one or more ND options */
> };
>
> Considering this is meant to carry data that is heavily link-layer involved,
> this seems like a feature bug. Could an ifindex field be added there??
