Use of connector is deprecated, it does not have any advantages over genetlink while genetlink provides an optional attributes based protocol interface which allows for messaging protocols to be developed which can be extended without breaking binary compatibility. It also features a userspace library which makes development trivial. I guess nobody will force you but use of genetlink is encouraged. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
