Hi !
I think nobody here will answer you.
Those who know the answer will not answer you because they think it's
trivial or don't want to spend time to. And those who don't know it will
not answer you because they do not want show they don't know the
answer(like me).
I asked some help for 2 things a couple of days ago but I get no answer.
Best regards,
Patrick.

Hi experts,
I am new to netlink sockets.
In my app , I am getting EPOLLERR in epoll_wait() on netlink socket
continuously.
epoll just notifies that there is a read event on socket (it does not
tell if it is read or epollerr).
What could be cause of this and what EPOLLERR on memory mapped netlink
socket mean.is this Other side of netlink (kernel side) closed
connection ?even if kernel side closed connection why non-stop
repeated EPOLLERR s on netlink sockets ?
What action should we take in such cases ? just close the socket or
call getsockopt(SO_ERROR) to retrieve the pending error state from the
socket and just continue without closing socket?
how do we detect if kernel side closed the connection ?
My understanding is :
if we get read event notification from epoll on memory mapped netlink
socket and in RX ring if the frame is neither NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID and
nor NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY then we can conclude that this is a 'close()'
from remote kernel socket and I can close connection by calling
close() on my netlink socket.
Is above understanding correct ?
Please
