From 3d36696024499aef19dbf24a781e91a24fbbe4af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:59:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [AF_UNIX] Initialise UNIX sockets before general device initcalls When drivers call request_module(), it tries to do something with UNIX sockets and triggers a 'runaway loop modprobe net-pf-1' warning. Avoid this by initialising AF_UNIX support earlier. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: David S.
