From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Rusty Russell Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: remove forward module param confusion. Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:57:06 +1030 Message-ID: <8739909sqt.fsf@rustcorp.com.au> References: <20120322182623.GA29859@elgon.mountain> <8762dw9to2.fsf@rustcorp.com.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, netfilter-devel@vger.kernel.org To: Dan Carpenter Return-path: In-Reply-To: <8762dw9to2.fsf@rustcorp.com.au> Sender: netfilter-devel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org It used to be an int, and it got changed to a bool parameter at least 7 years ago. It happens that NF_ACCEPT and NF_DROP are 0 and 1, so this works, but it's unclear, and the check that it's in range is not required.
