Request: Remove duplicate file names in the kernel source

Request: Remove duplicate file names in the kernel source

[Peter Hallberg]

Hello,

The netfilter sources in the Linux Kernel contains a number of files that is duplicates expect for the case, like foo.c and FOO.c, this creates a problem when untaring the kernel source on a filesystem that doesn't support it like the common Windows file systems, sometimes you have the need to study the kernel source on other systems and it really is unecessary and confusing to have this naming so I would like to ask you to change it, below is a list of the files:

include\linux\netfilter\xt_connmark.h
include\linux\netfilter\xt_dscp.h
include\linux\netfilter\xt_mark.h
include\linux\netfilter\xt_rateest.h
include\linux\netfilter\xt_tcpmss.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_connmark.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_dscp.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_ecn.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_mark.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_tcpmss.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_tos.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv4\ipt_ttl.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv6\ip6t_hl.h
include\linux\netfilter_ipv6\ip6t_mark.h
net\ipv4\netfilter\ipt_ecn.c
net\ipv4\netfilter\ipt_ttl.c
net\ipv6\netfilter\ip6t_hl.c
net\netfilter\xt_connmark.c
net\netfilter\xt_dscp.c
net\netfilter\xt_mark.c
net\netfilter\xt_rateest.c
net\netfilter\xt_tcpmss.c

And please don't send one, it will break userspace.

Nothing to fix here.

That file do exist so you are doing something wrong.

Why don't you simply install CygWin (and use it to study the kernel
sources) which solves your problem?
Otherwise the next "request" is perhaps to rename all files to 8+3 so
that people on pure MSDOS-6.22 can study the kernel sources.
