From 263ba61d3b19508dfb003c215ec5d23f882b4f87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pravin B Shelar Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:14:37 -0800 Subject: genetlink: Add genl_notify() Open vSwitch uses Generic Netlink interface for communication between userspace and kernel module. genl_notify() is used for sending notification back to userspace. genl_notify() is analogous to rtnl_notify() but uses genl_sock instead of rtnl.
