From 941c2e1cd1e62387d1e876739b5e6b0c46fef332 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Watson Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:10:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove historical support for capturing IPX packets in the output path using raw IPX sockets. While functional, this support is disabled using a flag that can't be changed from userspace, and google reveals no documentation or use of that flag anywhere. This eliminates a potential lock order reversal and code reentrance issue in which the output path reentered the input path in IPX. An alternative to removal would be to use the netisr, as a comment I added in 2005 suggests. While this change is fairly straight-forward, the lack of any consumers or the easy possibility of consumers (kernel modification and recompile required) suggests that this is simply an unused feature. Update README to remove this TODO, and a TODO regarding IPX/IP encapsulation which was also removed a few years ago.
