The size of the struct is less of an issue than the test for ARPHRD_INFINIBAND. David said as much: -- it won't work for anything else without adding -- more special tests to that af_packet.c code I have to say, SOCKADDR_COMPAT_LL is pretty stinky too. Hal, why *are* you testing for ARPHRD_INFINIBAND anyway? What different action happens in the transport-independent code in this special case? Tom. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
