I recently upgraded my Slackware 3.3 from 2.0.33 to 2.1.86 and discoverd something that might be a slight error.

In: net/ipv4/devinet.c: 787 - too many parameters for kfree_skb() The line appeared as: kfree_skb(skb, 0); I changed it to: kfree_skb(skb);

The compile when on normaly until the same error reappered in: net/ipv4/fib_hash.c:718, net/netlink/af_netlink.c:373, 381,395,469,470,633.

After the last change, the image was compiled normaly.

I have upgraded my system with the newest utilities as is described in the Documentation/Changes namely:

glibc 2.0.6, make 3.76.1, modutils 2.1.71, bash 2.01.1, gcc 2.7.2.3

Is this a mistake in the kernel or is it my mistake. An answer would be appricated.
