Kernel code quotes
Here we're collecting some funny quotes from the linux kernel code
/* This code sucks. But you should have seen it before! --RR */

static void dn_long_error_report(struct neighbour *neigh, struct sk_buff *skb) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "dn_long_error_report: called\n"); kfree_skb(skb); }
- from linux-2.6.23/net/decnet/dn_neigh.c
/* Unfortunately we don't support this one. Any brave souls? */
- from linux-2.6.23/include/linux/skbuff.h:skb_forward_csum()
#define IT_ID_SET 1 #define IT_ID_NOT_SET 0
- from linux-2.6.23/kernel/posix-timers.c
* "I ask you, have you ever known what it is to be an orphan?" */ static int will_become_orphaned_pgrp(...

#ifndef I_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT /* It is not :-( ...

static inline int sk_hashed(const struct sock *sk) { return !sk_unhashed(sk); }

Instead of using a dedicated spinlock, we (ab)use inetsw_lock
