Another possibility is to do a "yield() until memory available" like net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:tcp_send_fin() does. Really, this netlink_ack() case should absolutely fail rarely. We are talking about at worst a single page allocation to satisfy this request and for GFP_KERNEL this is all but guarenteed. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
