The problem here is that if connector is compiled as a module and fork_connector as builtin there will be undefined reference to symbol like 'cn_already_initialized' or 'cn_netlink_send'. That's why the fork_connector() must be enable if CONFIG_CONNECTOR and CONFIG_FORK_CONNECTOR are selected as builtin and not as a module.

Yes but cn_netlink_send() is looking for a callback with the same idx. As I don't use any callback, found == 0 and I have an error "Failed to find multicast netlink group for callback[0xfeed.0xbeef]". So the good call is: cn_netlink_send(msg, CN_IDX_FORK); Thanks for your help, Guillaume - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
