Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 07:49:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180124074908.7e90b753@xeon-e3> (raw)

Forwarding this to netdev because group may have different opinions.
IMHO netlink is a multicast communication mechanism and therefore not it does
not have the close semantics of other connection oriented protocols.
Therefore this is not a bug.

            Bug ID: 198571
           Summary: [af_netlink]missing wakeup while closing af_netlink
                    socket
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.32
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org
          Reporter: yushouhua@sina.com
        Regression: No

In a multithread program, thread A wait for a message from a af_netlink socket
with the interface select first. Then thread B calls close to this socket. In
this situation, thread A would not be woken up forever. This problem may be
caused by missing call to the funtion release_sock to the socket in the funthon
netlink_release. Can anyone fix this problem?
