Next: [PATCH 2/5] percpu: fix dynamic percpu allocators on UP
From: David Howells on 6 Aug 2010 14:30
From: Wang Lei <wang840925(a)gmail.com>

If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached in the DNS resolver
key in lieu of a value. Userspace passes the h_errno from the libresolv
routines as an option in the payload:

"#dnserror=<number>"

This is mapped through dns_errno_map[] to an appropriate Linux error code. To
this end, an internal error EHOSTNOTFOUND is added to be passed back to the
caller to indicate the resultless lookup.

If this option is used, the main part of the payload is discarded. The key may
still have an expiry time set, however.
