Subject: [2.4.19] small bug plus fix for /proc/net/snmp (Imcp: field count)
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 21:55:42 +0200 (MEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200209291955.g8TJtgp24880@aunt2.gaertner.de> (raw)

Hi,

i received a bug report plus fix from Gonzalo A. Arana Tagle
<garana@uolsinectis.com.ar> about a extra dummy value printed for the
``Icmp:'' values in /proc/net/snmp:

       # awk '/Icmp/ { print NF; }' /proc/net/snmp 
       27
       28

the code in snmp_get_info() from net/ipv4/proc.c prints a dummy value
present at the end of struct icmp_mib, which should not be included.

from include/net/snmp.h:

>  struct icmp_mib
>  {
>   	unsigned long	IcmpInMsgs;
>  [...]
>   	unsigned long	IcmpOutAddrMaskReps;
>  	unsigned long	dummy;
>  	unsigned long   __pad[0]; 
>  } ____cacheline_aligned;


instead of printing all values before the __pad field, printing the
values before the dummy field gives the right number of values:

please fix this.  thank's in advance,
