From 683703a26e4677db437a1480682851e27c7a154f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 03:17:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drop_monitor: Update netlink protocol to include netlink attribute header in alert message When I initially implemented this protocol, I disregarded the use of netlink attribute headers, thinking for my purposes they weren't needed. I've come to find out that, as I'm starting to work with sending down messages with associated data (like config messages), the kernel code spits out warnings about trailing data in a netlink skb that doesn't have an associated header on it. As such, I'm going to start including attribute headers in my netlink transaction, and so for completeness, I should likely include them on messages bound from the kernel to user space. This patch adds that header to the kernel, and bumps the protocol version accordingly Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.
