If i am not mistaken: Some of these removals of current->pid will affect users such as quagga, zebra, vrrpd etc. If those specific users are not affected, please ignore the rest of my comments. I realize mr. Kuznetsov submitted at least one patch in the past to do something similar to this. IMO, I believe there is a strong case that can be made for events that were caused by non-netlink users such as ioctls that could at least be multicast with current->pid. In other words an exception case for only this scenario. In such a case there is no unicast netlink message. It would also be acceptable if the quagga etc folks could meet their goals some other way. cheers, jamal - 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
