From: Geert Uytterhoeven Subject: [PATCH 1/6] netlink: Move netlink attribute parsing support to lib/ Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:43:09 +0100 Message-ID: <1235569394-15217-2-git-send-email-Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> References: <1235569394-15217-1-git-send-email-Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Cc: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Geert Uytterhoeven , "David S.

Move it from net/netlink to lib and control its inclusion based on the new config symbol CONFIG_NLATTR, which is selected by CONFIG_NET. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: David S.
