Folks, To take netlink to where we want to use it within the SCSI subsystem (as the mechanism of choice to replace ioctls), we're going to need to pass user-space buffer pointers.
What is the best, portable manner to pass a pointer between user and kernel space within a netlink message ? The example I've seen is in the iscsi target code - and it's passed between user-kernel space as a u64, then typecast to a void *, and later within the bio_map_xxx functions, as an unsigned long. I assume we are going to continue with this method ? -- james s - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
