The following patch set is a preparation to addition of netlink handlers to support RDMA tool. It simplifies the code, removes useless client infrastructure, concentrates netlink validity checks and allows future patches to remove a lot of dead code from iwcm* code base (all operations related to nl_clients). It is based on already sent to the mailing list patch [1] "Revert "IB/core: Add flow control to the portmapper netlink calls"" [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9752865/ Changelog v0->v1: * Moved to separate topic from rdmatool. Patch #1: * Add check to catch already initialized callback table to avoid double registration of the same protocol. * Rewrite the validity check to use array instead of switch().
