From bcbde0d449eda7afa8f63280b165c8300dbd00e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 19:38:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: netlink: virtual tap device management Similarly to the networking receive path with ptype_all taps, we add the possibility to register netdevices that are for ARPHRD_NETLINK to the netlink subsystem, so that those can be used for netlink analyzers resp. debuggers. We do not offer a direct callback function as out-of-tree modules could do crap with it. Instead, a netdevice must be registered properly and only receives a clone, managed by the netlink layer.
