Subject: [AF_PACKET]: Remove bogus checks added to packet_sendmsg().
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14-rc3~103^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b85daee0e497c8fe7c4dc3531674ede645b37cdf;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[AF_PACKET]: Remove bogus checks added to packet_sendmsg().

These broke existing apps, and the checks are superfluous
as the values being verified aren't even used.
