net: bind() fix error return on wrong address family
Hi, Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according to POSIX. The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN. Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far as a brief look shows: EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc EINVAL: ax25, bluetooth, decnet, econet, ieee802154, iucv, netlink, netrom, packet, rds, rose, unix, x25, No check?: can/raw, ipv6/raw, irda, l2tp/l2tp_ip Ciao, Marcus Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de> Cc: Reinhard Max <max@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
