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().
