From d387f6ad10764fc2174373b4a1cca443adee36e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 00:31:06 -0700 Subject: [NETLINK]: Add notification message sending interface Adds nlmsg_notify() implementing proper notification logic. The message is multicasted to all listeners in the group. The applications the requests orignates from can request a unicast back report in which case said socket will be excluded from the multicast to avoid duplicated notifications. nlmsg_multicast() is extended to take allocation flags to allow notification in atomic contexts.
