The real question is, does af_unix really need to allow beeing built modular? It's quite different from other network protocol and deeply tied to the kernel due to things like descriptor passing or using the filesystem namespace. I already had to export another symbol that really should be internal just for it, and if one module acquires lots of such hacks it's usually a bad sign.. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
