yes, you are totally right, but as I told you before, I'm not focusing
my efforts in improving netlink sockets for tools like iproute, for
those MSG_DONTWAIT is fairly ok.

I don't agree, enlarging the queue size for applications that send a lot
of information in a short period of time is just a workaround.

Herbert, I don't agree, my patch isn't related to stuff that you've
mentioned. It's fairly true that most çof application use socket timeout
0, but my patch is not for those! :-) well, still disagree?
