This should already be handled by netlink_getsockbypid: /* Don't bother queuing skb if kernel socket has no input function */ nlk = nlk_sk(sock); if ((nlk->pid == 0 && !nlk->data_ready) || (sock->sk_state == NETLINK_CONNECTED && nlk->dst_pid != nlk_sk(ssk)->pid)) { sock_put(sock); return ERR_PTR(-ECONNREFUSED); } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
