Then we need a method that requires protocols to register their address length in a manner that will allow us to validate that limit at compile time. This is not rocket science. Right now we're proposing to do utterly stupid shit like encoding integers in device pointers in the sk_buff, when that is absolutely not necessary at all. -- 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
