Hi folks, I have a question regarding about netlink. I have an opened netlink socket and I called a function that also make use of netlink to retrieve information about the ip addresses. The function blocks at recvmsg, the reason I think is because the message originally meant for this 2nd netlink socket was sent to the 1st netlink socket (since both sockets has the same pid and netlink sends the message through netlink_unicast). I tried setting the dst_groups but the result is the same. Following this, I do a fork for the 2nd function so that it uses a new pid. The program now does not block at recvmsg, however I think this should not be the way to do it. Is there anyway to get the program to work without forking? I am afraid I am not too good with netlink. Thanks for any advices. cheers, jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
