The call signature of netlink_kernel_create() is getting huge. It's getting near the time we should pass in a descriotor block in the form of a structure to specify all of these parameters. It would have even made this patch significantly smaller since the default of NULL would have worked out perfectly. - 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
