That's been addressed in so many emails I won't rehash. If _no_one_ should block (it is actually a one shot retry with a timeout) sending Netlink message from kernel to user, why don't Leon or you patch that code out? All of it, not just ibnl_unicast(). > So please be more constructive than replying with "NAK". I've sent so many emails (some you were CC'd), so I'm not sure how much more constructive I can be.
