But that patch is also allocating a PF value and net/socket.c has: if (ops->family >= NPROTO) { printk(KERN_CRIT "protocol %d >= NPROTO(%d)\n", ops->family, NPROTO); return -ENOBUFS; } ...while include/linux/net.h has: #define NPROTO AF_MAX Also, the lock dependency checks can cope with AF_MAX, but not AF_MAX+1. I have gone through that myself... I can testify it's annoying when the latest socket family of the kernel version of the day failed to declare its lock classes. Then that family "works" but the one you're trying triggers obnoxious locking warnings that are not your own fault. > And I don't want to hear any whining about how you've > used this value of 36 internally for a long time or > anything like that. So I guess you don't want to hear how AF_PHONET overloaded AF_ECONET before we published it :) But anyway, Econet had those cool properties that we did not use it, and that it had a private pointer in net_device (although Phonet does not need a private device pointer anymore) :P
