If I add a new syscall at what point do I bump the version number in param.h ? Do I just do it when I have committed the kernel side or when I have done the userland bit too ? Kernel side -- <sys/param.h> is about the interface contract that the kernel implements. The syscall is sctp_peeloff(). Hmm... Introducing a protocol-specific syscall doesn't strike me as a great design. I can imagine wanting to do something similar with, e.g., minimalt, if we ever had that in-kernel. If we have to have something protocol-specific, an ioctl would work just as well, and use up a somewhat less scarce resource.
