Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/4] ipv4: add FIB_LOOKUP_REPORT_MISS
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 06:15:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110061536.10811-2-liamsmith827@grapheneos.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110061536.10811-1-liamsmith827@grapheneos.org>
From: liamsmith827 <liamsmith827@proton.me>
IPv4 FIB lookup maps a routing miss to -ENETUNREACH, which is also
returned when an unreachable rule is encountered. This flag prevents the
mapping, returning -ESRCH instead.
