Not sure if you had a chance to review this version.
Why me? Other people have to review this too.
Now I have a question: may I split the include/linux/socket.h change and ask you to pre-allocate the number for AF_HYPERV to allow backporting of Hyper-V Sockets to distro kernels, and to make sure that applications using the socket type will work with the backport as well as the upstream kernel?
Sorry, I'm not going to do this. You cannot commit anything in userspace to this value anywhere until it is accepted upstream.
