| |
Hi all!
As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig options and in-code Conditional blocks.
According to my search CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_PERVASIVE is not defined in any 2.4-2.6 kernel (not #define d and not in KConfig). However some tiny piece of code still checks it. If this is really a leftover (as I expect) it might be a good idea to actually remove that unreachable bit of code.
Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed / merged so we can keep track of it.
Regards
Christoph Egger

CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_PERVASIVE is missing a corresponding config IP_ROUTE_PERVASIVE somewhere in KConfig (and missing it for ages already) so it looks like some aging artefact no longer needed.
Therefor this patch kills of the only remaining reference to that config Item removing the already unrechable code snipet.
