That makes sense, but the local filter variables are assigned to sk_filter immediately before the tests. If there's a possibility of sk_filter being set to NULL, shouldn't the local variables be assigned to sk_filter earlier than the tests? And if not then what would be the difference between before and after my patch? That part I don't think I'm fully understanding. Unless you mean sk_filter could get set to NULL after the test, but before it's used. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
