Netlink message can be delivered only if someone listens for it. Subscription part of connector is similar to existing group mechanims, it is moved a bit higher from do_one_broadcast(), since it is required for proper high-layer protocol and it's users do not care about netlink groups, but only it's own ID's, which can be different. > Thanks, > Kay --=20 Evgeniy Polyakov Crash is better than data corruption -- Arthur Grabowski --=-arFnMnDbrUwWRFBv0Xnf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCVUhdIKTPhE+8wY0RAmX1AJ0SMYEft6KKOY3SheaMUAeTcXS4QwCeMkwR fOW8US6iGuKXqRetTDEC/WM= =hLN/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-arFnMnDbrUwWRFBv0Xnf-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
