Subject: [PATCH] simplify networking fcntl


Sockets haven't had their own special ioctls since before linux 2.0.29.
sock_no_fcntl is only called for F_SETOWN, so it can stand some
simplification.

I believe James Morris did this (clean up network fcntl) already in a more
complex patchkit that also cleans up the SIGIO/SIGURG sending.
Perhaps you coordinate with him.

sk->proc. Sorry, generic F_SETOWN does not handle SIGURG.

Last I heard from James, he was having more trouble than he expected
making it work right. an incremental improvement didn't seem
unreasonable.

indeed -- did you read the patch? i simplified sock_no_fcntl so it
_only_ handled F_SETOWN, which is the only time it's called.

Pardon, I interpreted it wrongly, decided you removed the call down,
which would be right thing to do, only taking care of SIGURG.
SIGIO is not a problem, this handled by generic code.

Andi reminded about patch by James Morris doing something with this.

This is almost ready, I just need to complete a couple of higher priority
tasks before incorporating some further suggestions and finalizing the
patch (may be a week or so until I can get back to it).
