Subject: need help with netlink sockets
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 20:37:32 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3AB77234.6D227B47@sasken.com> (raw)

Hi

The NETLINK_ROUTE family deifned as a part of the netlink socket
protocol has the data handler of the sock structure set to
rtnetlinl_rcv. However this function dequeues the data packet ( in the
skb ) from the  receive queue of the sock structure and processes it if
the flag in the nlmsghdr is set ot NLM_F_REQUEST.

While sending information back to the user this flag is not set. So the
packet is dequeued and lost . Arnt there provisions made to handle
packets from the kernel to the user ?

Thanks in advance

Praveen
