Dear Everyone,
Forgive me for abusing this list, but I'm not sure where else to
direct my mail to for this question.
In a kernel loadable module, I'm using netlink_unicast to send
messages back to userland.
In most cases we assume this passes, but the function is written as an
int and can fail.

In that case there's no way to notify userland that a message isn't
coming back and depending on the api

Indeed, I meant 4.6+, not 4.6.
The patch you attached doesn't change existing code for me in 4.6+ as
these two lines are already in there.
Thanks,
