I would like to defer this to the next merge window. I'd also like to see how the AUDIT code is going to use this, provide the user in your next submission. Right now the only user is nfnetlink and it's merely to do a (sub-)module request. Therefore it's no surprise that we've never had any real well thought out semantics defined for the bind method, and it's also why we never thought of adding an unbind method before. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
