Subject: [PATCH libnetfilter_conntrack 1/1] conntrack: Allow setting of netlink buffer size
Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2023 14:25:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y7h1o0H+dvAz1vtZ@prometheus> (raw)

ENOBUFS is returned in the case that the nfnetlink socket buffer is
exhausted.  The function nfnl_rcvbufsize is provided by libnfnetlink
to set the buffer size in order to handle this error, however
libnetfilter_conntrack does not expose this function for the underlying
netlink socket.

Add nfct_rcvbufsiz function to allow setting of buffer size for netlink
socket.
