Re: [PATCH 5/6] x25: Allow 32 bit socket ioctl in 64 bit kernel

[Shaun Pereira]

Thank for reviewing the patch Ingo.
There was a mistake the first time round, lucky for me Arnaldo's comment
about the magic number helped me spot it. When ITU-T DTE facilities are
added to the X.25 header packet the length field has to contain n + 1
bytes where n is the number of bytes needed to hold the calling(or
called address) extension.

The kernel used to check that the maximum number of bytes/allowed-length
is 33. However as I understand the X.25 recommendation for 
ITU-T specified DTE facilities to support OSI network services, the 
value of n can be a maximum of 20 bytes.  This makes the allowable
length 21.  By co-incidence 0x21 turned out to be 33 bytes. But I meant
21 bytes. The other decimal value of 40 is the maximum number of semi-
octets in the calling address extension. (Therefore 20 octets + 1 in the
length field). 

Now I just have to correct my other mistake .. all these patches have
the same subject...

Regards
Shaun
