No. Quote from Alexey: "Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port", the confusion would be avoided." And quote from netlink.7 I wrote: "nl_pid is the unicast address of netlink socket. It's always 0 if the destination is in the kernel. For a userspace process, nl_pid is usually the PID of the process owning the destination socket. However, nl_pid identifies a netlink socket, not a process. If a process owns several netlink sockets, then nl_pid can only be equal to the process ID for at most one socket. There are two ways to assign nl_pid to a netlink socket. If the application sets nl_pid before calling bind(2), then it is up to the application to make sure that nl_pid is unique. If the application sets it to 0, the kernel takes care of assigning it. The kernel assigns the process ID to the first netlink socket the process opens and assigns a unique nl_pid to every netlink socket that the process subsequently creates." Once again link to the archive to the message I posted with new netlink.7 no one bother to comment yet ;). http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev%40vger.kernel.org/msg06166.html -- Hasso Tepper - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
