Hi Naresh,
Thanks for working on this! :)

I think this mechanism for limiting events being forwarded to the
listener is worthy. My original idea was to utilize the netlink
multicast groups for this so that the regulator core would register
multiple multicast groups for this family. User would then listen only
the groups he is interested, and multiplexing the messages would be done
by netlink/socket code.
Problem(?) of the approach you propose here is that the event filtering
is global for all users. If multicast groups were used, this filtering
would be done per listener socket basis. I'm not sure if that would be
needed though, but somehow I feel it would be more usable for different
user-land appliactions (cost being the increased complexity though).
Eg, I am thinking users could enable receiving multicasts for events
they like using:
setsockopt(..., SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, ..., ...)
Do you think allowing setting the 'filtering' this way per socket would
work or be beneficial?

If we go with just a global event_mask (not per listener) event
filtering, then we might need protection/barrier for this write of a
64bit value(?)

I would drop this print, or by very least, make it dbg.

I would make this dbg as well.

I haven't thought about it enough to say anything about the working bit
but it does seem like it could be useful (eg, a UI might be interested
in more events than something just looking for critical errors).

Thinking about this some more I do think that global filtering like
the current patch would at least need some sort of permission check,
otherwise just any random process can disrupt everyone's monitoring.
Per socket filtering does seem like the way to go.

Agree. Will work on it & after validation will post the CL.
This change can be abandoned for now.
