From 86c8f9d158f68538a971a47206a46a22c7479bac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 20:43:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4] Fix EPROTONOSUPPORT error in inet_create There is a coding error in inet_create that causes it to always return ESOCKTNOSUPPORT. It should return EPROTONOSUPPORT when there are protocols registered for a given socket type but none of them match the requested protocol. This is based on a patch by Jayachandran C.
