hi all, I need a simple kernel<->user channel. should I use netlink for an arbitrary kernel module who need to communicate with a user space program ? or should I just use ioctl and forget about netlink ? (I certainly do not wish to clutter /proc). thanks a lot, J btw, about netlink: I thought of using netlink but I'm not acquainted with networking code. I found this article about it: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7356 but it is too old, the netlink API has already changed. I even found a lwn article about extending netlink into connectors: http://lwn.net/Articles/131802/ but it's not clear there what is the current state of this mechanism. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
