Dump all the FIB tables in each net namespace upon registration to the FIB notification chain so that the callee will have a complete view of the tables. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-table sequence counter that is incremented (under write lock) whenever a route is added or deleted from the table. All the sequence counters are read (under each table's read lock) and summed, prior and after the dump. In case the counters differ, then the dump is either restarted or the registration fails. While it's possible for a table to be modified after its counter has been read, this isn't really a problem. In case it happened before it was read the second time, then the comparison at the end will fail. If it happened afterwards, then we're guaranteed to be notified about the change, as the notification block is registered prior to the second read.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
