Hi Ralf,
Here is a new patch that completes the one I sent recently.
I hope you will find time to have a look at both patches
and approve them.
----------
[PATCH] [ROSE] [AX25] finding routes simplification
With previous patch, rose_get_neigh() routine
investigates the full list of neighbor nodes
until it finds or not an already connected node whether
it is called locally or through a level 3 transit frame.
If no routes are opened through an adjacent connected node
then a classical connect request is attempted.
Then there is no more reason for an extra loop such
as the one removed by this patch.

Hi,
Sorry for this second post.
I found that spin_lock_bh was missing in the first loop !
[PATCH] [ROSE] rose AX25 packet routing improvement
FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE
routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations
knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes.
Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is
looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when
a connect request to a neighbor node is received.
A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at
already established routes each time the system was looking for a
route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination
address was already connected, then the frame would be sent
through him. If not, a connection request would be issued.
The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect
request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node.
Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it
was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node.
Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch
improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.
