From 339bf98ffc6a8d8eb16fc532ac57ffbced2f8a68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 14:10:15 -0800 Subject: [NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new() instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly. Replaces error handling of message construction functions when constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies a bug in calculating the size of the skb.
