Why are you implementing an ioctl based instead of using netlink?

Last I looked using netlink to create and delete tunnels was more
flexible and the preferred method and the existing ioctl based methods
were simply being maintained for backwards compatibility.

Also it appears that you have failed to include the all important
ip6_gre.c

I have implemented both ioctl and netlink based.
So if ioctl based is unnecessary it is not difficult to remove this
part.

What do you mean ?

I mean quit simply your patch adds to the Makefile the line:
obj-$(CONFIG_IPV6_GRE) += ip6_gre.o

But that your patch does not include a file named ip6_gre.c

Also your patch description talks about ip6gre_tnl_link_config and
ip6gre_newlink but those functions do not exist in your patch.  I
presume those functions are implemented in the missing ip6_gre.c

So please read the patch you sent to the mailing list and figure
out which file or files are missing.

Eric
