Hello, While "reading" the kernel sources referring to AF_INET SOCK_RAW sockets, i have stumbled upon some particular issues:
* in raw_icmp_error. why is the marked line required? 290 raw_err(raw_sk, skb, info); 291 raw_sk = sk_next(raw_sk); *292 iph = (const struct iphdr *)skb->data; // <<<<<< 293 } 294 } looking over raw_err, the skb is not changed and i don't think that it is meant to since that means delivering different thinks to different sockets, while iterating. (i have tracked this line back to 2.4.3.2->2.4.3.3). * also in raw_bind: why is there no lock_sock/release_sock while changing socket attributes (like in rawv6_bind)?
