This series extends the netlink sock_diag interface to broadcast socket information as they are being destroyed. The current interface is poll based and can not be used to retreive information about sockets that are destroyed between poll intervals.
Only inet sockets are broadcast in this implementation, but other families could easily be added as needed in the future. If this patch set is accepted, a follow-up patch to the ss utility in the iproute2 suite will also be submitted.
