Dave,

Part of the sock cleanup made me remove the #include <linux/tcp.h> from
include/linux/ip.h and from include/net/sock.h, i.e., it is not needed in those headers, but then I had to go to udp.c, ipx.c, decnet, etc, and add a #include <linux/tcp.h> because it needs TCP_ESTABLISHED, TCP_CLOSE, etc, this is a pet peeve to me, as a janitor :-) Can I change this to PROTO_ESTABLISHED, PROTO_CLOSE, etc, and have it on a different header, say include/net/protocol.h? Its strange to have IPX, DecNET, etc having to include net/tcp.h (that in turn includes ip.h, etc).

If this is ok I can bundle it in the sock cleanup or send it
separately, your call.

These other protocols are just borrowing state machine states from TCP. I really see no reason to rename them, because then if you did the TCP usage wouldn't make look right anymore. :-)

I don't mind moving the header include from sock.h to the protocols though.

Franks a lot,

just to make sure I understood: "to the protocols" means creating IPX_ESTABLISHED, etc, or does it mean having the protocols include tcp.h?

Include tcp.h

Ok, thats what is being done, works, but I still think its ugly, I'm a nitpicker, you know 8-)
