Subject: inet_hash_connect: source port allocation
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:04:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CF3DD02.90906@oracle.com> (raw)

Hello,

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is there any 
particular reason why the source port allocation in 
__inet_hash_connect() shouldn't use the same random allocation that 
inet_csk_get_port() uses?  The latter, of course, is used when bind() 
doesn't specify a source port but the implicit "bind" for a connect() 
gets its port allocated by __inet_hash_connect().
