Hello,
Surprise surprise. The namespace seq patch missed two spots in AF_PACKET. [PACKET]: Fix /proc/net/packet crash due to bogus private pointer The seq_open_net patch changed the meaning of seq->private. Unfortunately it missed two spots in AF_PACKET, which still used the old way of dereferencing seq->private, thus causing weird and wonderful crashes when reading /proc/net/packet. This patch fixes them.
True :) It fixes both my x86 and sprac64. Thanks. Mariusz
