I want to reiterate what has been stated earlier in reply to this patch in that we shouldn't be modifying /proc/net/tcp* at all, any change can break some application parsing the strings it spits out. Therefore only the inet_diag thing can have the fields added in a backward compatible manner. Actually, this is why I initially deleted this patch from my inbox without applying it, I didn't see you remove the procfs code based upon the feedback you got stating that was necessary. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
