net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed short
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache. Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue: 'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer. In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define: #define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1)) That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2 thought a -1 should be expected. I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally? I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
