From c349a528cd47e2272ded0ea358363855e86180da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcus Meissner Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2011 01:30:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: bind() fix error return on wrong address family Hi, Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according to POSIX. The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN. Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far as a brief look shows: EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc EINVAL: ax25, bluetooth, decnet, econet, ieee802154, iucv, netlink, netrom, packet, rds, rose, unix, x25, No check?: can/raw, ipv6/raw, irda, l2tp/l2tp_ip Ciao, Marcus Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner Cc: Reinhard Max Signed-off-by: David S.
