We have some protection against this in form of netlink socket buffer.
In general, callbacks (as noted previously by Morten) can't block so
this should be fine - we might need to play around with SO_RCVBUF socket
option of the netlink socket but so far I have not experienced any problem.

0 is an invalid if_index (on Windows too) so I've used it to encode "all
interfaces". This is related to your next comment. So I'll expand on
this there.

OK. So let me describe the initialization flow on Linux (the only
available implementation right now). When we start listening we first
request dumping of the whole configuration. We call get_info(0). Again
this '0' is invalid if_index so is used as "all intefaces" value.
This index is written in Netlink msg headers and is coupled with
possible filtering of messages on kernel side (see comment in
nlink_listen() below). When we request info we always use REQUEST|DUMP
flags but on newer kernels there is an option (when if_index is
non-zero) to send out only information for that interace instead of
dumping all info. In addition it is encoded in nlmsg_seq.
So there are different types of info we get from kernel:
link/address/routing/neighbouring. Instead of requesting them all at
once I do that sequentially and in get_info() I start with a request for
link info.
This code that you asked about above is a check that:
- this message is a direct reply to us (pid)
- and reply for global request (index = 0)
- and this is the last part of multi-segmented message (this is how
Linux dumps info - sends couple of messages with the additional "DONE"
msg at the end).
And the logic below is sequencing LINK->ADDR->ROUTE->NEIGH-> we are done
so notify the user about that. That way we have at most one active
"transaction" with kernel.

If you are playing with this library (running test case or the exemplary
application) and would like to have better view what is going on you can
add "--log=lib.if_proxy:debug" to the arguments list.
Thanks for taking a look at this. The more people do this the better
this should be. E.g. explaining initialization flow to you made me
realize that the there is another case where I request info which is not
handled well - normally user should bind the proxies and start
listening. But if for some reason user binds proxy later, during
listening, I request info for that particular interface but
implementation will request only link level and will not follow with
request for other info. I will fix this in the next version.
