    Subject[BK ] new module infrastructure for net_proto_family
    Hi Folks,

    Can somebody (DaveM perhaps) please explain to me what the hell the following
    changset is doing in 2.5.68
    http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@1.1118.1.1?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-7d
    ??

    I've spent quite a bit of time looking into what's needed to fix socket module refcounting
    issues and convicting DaveM and Alex that we need to fix them.
    Here is the original thread
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104308300808557&w=2

    My patch was rejected without giving any technical explanation. I was waiting for Rusty's
    __module_get() patch to get in, to release a new patch which addresses some issues that
    came up during discussion.
    Next thing you know, incomplete patch (changeset mentioned above) shows up in the BK and
    2.5.68. Without even a simple note on the lkm. And completely ignoring discussion that
    we had about this very issue just a few weeks ago.

    I don't mind of course if some other (better) patch is accepted instead of mine. But patch
    that went in is incomplete and buggy. It doesn't handle accept case properly and doesn't
    address the issue of the 'struct sock' ownership (read original thread for more details).

    Thanks

    Max
