Out of curiosity, why not to fix a netlink_dump_start() to remove callback in error path, since in 'no-error' path it removes it in netlink_dump(). And, btw, can release method be called while socket is being used, I thought about proper reference counters should prevent this, but not 100% sure with RCU dereferencing of the descriptor. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - 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
