Backport upstream patch:
Commit 65cab850f0ee ("net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig
ioctl") modified the IN_BADCLASS macro a bit, but unfortunatly one too
many '(' characters were added to the line, making any code that used
it, not build properly.
Also, the macro now compares an unsigned with a signed value, which
isn't ok, so fix that up by making both types match properly.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Allow class-e address assignment in ifconfig and early
|
|
boot
|
|
|
|
While the linux kernel became mostly "class-e clean" a decade ago,
|
|
and most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite
|
|
of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment,
|
|
distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of
|
|
ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch.
|
|
|
|
With this patch, also, a boot command line on these addresses is feasible:
|
|
(ip=248.0.1.2::248.0.1.1:255.255.255.0).
|
|
|
|
While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the
|
|
userspace open source code in the world shows most IN_whatever macros
|
|
are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely,
|
|
this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely.
|
|
|
|
