I am not using git (if that is what you mean by 'branches') - just
tarballs from kernel.org

Sorry, my bad, I need to learn/read more.
Thanks for your help/advice :)

OK, it's important to mention that otherwise the
assumption would be a git tree like net or net-next.

(OK, using git and linux-stable)
$ git grep -w -n one v3.18.21 -- net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
v3.18.21:net/core/sysctl_net_core.c:26:static int one = 1;
And the responsible commit:
commit c48cf4f27d4555a455c3fef71137bd0fc44d1656
("net: sysctl_net_core: check SNDBUF and RCVBUF for min length")

Ah, OK. GCC was right - just the variable declaration was overlooked to
be removed too.
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=c48cf4f27d4555a455c3fef71137bd0fc44d1656
My patch was right then (but wrong) :)
Thanks Joe,
Nick
