Subject: [Patch 4/6] per task delay accounting taskstats interface: fix drop listener only on socket close
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 00:33:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1152592382.14142.129.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1152591838.14142.114.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Remove listeners from per-cpu listener lists only if they've closed the
socket (resulting in an ECONNREFUSED failure of genetlink unicast). 
For other errors returned by genlmsg_unicast like -EAGAIN which results 
from the receiver's buffer having insufficient space, userspace gets an 
ENOBUF warning and the kernel can continue.
