Subject: the method to get nlmsg_len in audit_send() is error
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:02:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <488D8B3D.5040405@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
Hello Steve,
I think micro NLMSG_ALIGN is needless for nlmsg_len, NLMSG_SPACE is sufficient.
because NLMSG_SPACE includes the rounded netlink header size.
Now no errors occurred because struct req has been set to all 0.
