From: Thomas Graf Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2013 12:21:30 +0000 (+0100) Subject: genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocation X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.2.0-15.16~14144^2~265^2~12 X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb9b18fb55b03477fe5bdd3e97245d6d4d3dee4f;p=mirror_ubuntu-eoan-kernel.git genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocation Allocates a new sk_buff large enough to cover the specified payload plus required Netlink headers. Will check receiving socket for memory mapped i/o capability and use it if enabled. Will fall back to non-mapped skb if message size exceeds the frame size of the ring.
