Hello, I'd like to get my feet wet contributing to the FreeBSD Kernel's networking stack. The wiki has a section titled Low Hanging Kernel Fruit. I found something in there which isn't ticketed but looks like something I might be able to write. * Reject non-broadcast destinations passed to IP_ONESBCAST with a meaningful error.
However, I also noticed this comment further down the page "Deprecate hacks like IP_ONESBCAST as they will then no longer be needed." This comment is a little odd because that symbol is mentioned in the man page and is kind of part of the public API. Would this be an appropriate issue to try and solve? If so, can I get more details on exactly where these IP destinations would be passed in? Are we looking at a check in the plumbing supporting sendto and similar socket syscalls? Thanks, Ian Kronquist _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
