proc_fs was used, in af_packet, without a surrounding #ifdef, although there is no hard dependency on proc_fs. That caused the initialization of the af_packet module to fail when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n. Specifically, proc_create_net() was used in af_packet.c, and when it fails, packet_net_init() returns -ENOMEM. It will always fail when the kernel is compiled without proc_fs, because, proc_create_net() for example always returns NULL. The calling order that starts in af_packet.c is as follows: packet_init() register_pernet_subsys() register_pernet_operations() __register_pernet_operations() ops_init() ops->init() (packet_net_ops.init=packet_net_init()) proc_create_net() It worked in the past because register_pernet_subsys()'s return value wasn't checked before this Commit |
