From 28633514afd68afa77ed2fa34fa53626837bf2d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Kuznetsov Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 16:40:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NETLINK]: illegal use of pid in rtnetlink When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket, it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port", the confusion would be avoided. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: David S.
