The notifier calls bcm_notifier() first, which will loop over the bcm_notifier_list. The list is empty if there are no sockets open, yet. So from my point of view this change looks fine. IMHO it's better to make a series where all these notifiers are moved in front of the respective socket proto_register(). regards, Marc -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Embedded Linux | https://www.pengutronix.de | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 |
