That sure doesn't look right.  Now cmd_name and desc will be wrong.

And again here.

We could reorder the zeroing, or you could modify the check for a valid
comand/function.  Something like this?

	/*
         * Check for a valid command.  For ND_CMD_CALL, we also
         * have to make sure that the DSM function is supported.
         */
	if (cmd == ND_CMD_CALL && !test_bit(func, &dsm_mask))
        	return -ENOTTY;
	else if (!test_bit(cmd, &cmd_mask))
		return -ENOTTY;

Which way do you think is cleaner?

Jeff
