Error or not error, because it's hard to implement it in some way to make a correct handling without using a pointer of pointer. A pointer of pointer always means also a unnecessary dereferencing (netdev people doesn't like unnecessary dereferencing stuff, takes too much time). That's why I vote also for option 2)... but we can also clarify this on the netdev mailinglist and ask other networking kernel hackers. - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
