This is an update of my previous patch to add netlink event support to dm multipath. I have generalized the interface and made it so all callers of dm_table_event can also generate a netlink event. The skb mempool in this patch is derived / copied from drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c. This patch series contains: 1 dm-netlink skeleton support. 2 The netlink support for dm-netlink. 3 Add init calls and send on path failure and reinstate events. I have ran path failure testing on a small config. Example out: 1.) Path failure. Msg Type: 17 Recevied Event Type: 1 Version: 6 [Event]: SEQNUM: 7, Time: Tue Nov 29 21:50:47 2005, DMNAME: 8:160 2.)
