inet_diag currently provides less/greater than or equal operators for comparing ports when filtering sockets. An equal comparison can be performed by combining the two existing operators, or a user can for example request a port range and then do the final filtering in userspace. However, these approaches both have drawbacks. Implementing equal using LE/GE causes the size and complexity of a filter to grow quickly as the number of ports increase, while it on busy machines would be great if the kernel only returns information about relevant sockets. This patch introduces source and destination port equal operators. INET_DIAG_BC_S_EQ is used to match a source port, INET_DIAG_BC_D_EQ a destination port, and usage is the same as for the existing port operators. I.e., the port to match is stored in the no-member of the next inet_diag_bc_op-struct in the filter. Signed-off-by: Kristian Evensen <kristian.evensen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
