This is not possible because of all wildcards we have in UDP. 1) You can for example bind a socket s1 on address X, port p, dev eth0 2) You can bind socket s2 on adress X, port p (same values as previous socket), and dev eth1 As bindtodevice can be called after bind() itself, we can get several sockets with same rbtree key (port, address), but rbtree doesnt allow duplicates. I'll try hash based extent. (Ie allocate an hash extent for given primary hash slot in case number of sockets in this hash chain exceeds 10 or some threshold) key hash would be function_of(port, address), duplicates allowed. allocating 4096 bytes secondary hashes would divide per 1024 or 512 time of lookups, but keeping rcu lookup might be difficult. -- 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
