From fe4944e59c357f945f81bc67edb7ed1392e875ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 23:03:05 -0700 Subject: [NETLINK]: Extend netlink messaging interface Adds: nlmsg_get_pos() return current position in message nlmsg_trim() trim part of message nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len) reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data) add attribute w/o hdr nla_find_nested() find attribute in nested attributes Fixes nlmsg_new() to take allocation flags and consider size.
