Derek Atkins has mentioned that one holdup in a 'server prefs' for the afs port to 1.3.x pre2.0.x kernels is the fact that he heeds some publically available kernel functions or something that allows him to determine routing metrics of remote hosts to allow afs to have 'preferences' of closer servers vs further (more hops) servers.
Is there anything I could relay to him that might help him out?
I have already pointed out the nfsroot.c code that grabs every ethernet network interface and the /proc/net/route but he claims it is not publically exported functions, internal and only available if compiled into the kernel, he needs to be able to insert a module and get at the functions/interfaces/whatever that would allow routing metrics to be determined from the module code.
Is THIS possible?
