Re: [PATCH][NET] generalise per socket slab cache use

Arnaldo,

looks good, but i have a few comments. It is great that SCTP now has its own
slabcaches.

I think there is a typo here. udp6_sock should be raw6_sock

You have removed the above critical messages. Is this by intent or a mistake.

I am not clear on why we need this new structure ipv6_sk_offset.

Instead of adding the new field void *af_specific to struct proto, is it not
sufficient to add
        int     pinet6_offset;

and assign it as follows for each v6 sock type
        .pinet6_offset = offsetof(struct struct tcp6_sock, inet6)

In inet6_sk_generic(), you can directly use sk->sk_prot->pinet6_offset.

Thanks
