Patch looks good, you can also use this new function from other _fill_info() functions in the netfilter code, eg. nfnl_cthelper_fill_info() Take the time to make a careful look at the netfilter tree to see if we can have a good bunch of new clients of this function in one go. Most likely many of the nfnetlink_*.c files can use this. BTW, you can also indicate in your patch description that this is opencoded in a way that makes it error prone for future netfilter netlink subsystems. Please search for a better patch title, this one is too generic. I understand selecting a good patch title is something that exercise. I'd suggest this: netfilter: add nfnl_msg_type() helper function Never give up, revamp and resubmit, thanks! -- 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
