From b85daee0e497c8fe7c4dc3531674ede645b37cdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 15:23:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [AF_PACKET]: Remove bogus checks added to packet_sendmsg(). These broke existing apps, and the checks are superfluous as the values being verified aren't even used. Signed-off-by: David S.
