Yet unconverted
are: netfilter, net/sched/ tcp_diag, xfrm, kernel/audit.

I didnt find any issues with these as far as PID extrapolation.

I should have written, yet unchecked.

I also fixed some uses of NL_CREDS() to fetch the pid for
message generation which is wrong. Various dumping procedures
did not set the multi flag at all, I fixed all of them.

Do not apply these patches yet, they're way too intrusive

Do you mean the two patches? Those looked fine to me;

Yes, those two patches. My part comes directly out of my fingers
and is only compile tested. I didn't even run them yet.

i.e its mostly the patch i posted this morning with the new Macros, no?

I went through all users of NLMSG_PUT in the modules you touched and
checked if they properly set NLM_F_MULTI and used the new macro when
appropriate.

Anyways, I want to be careful with this, there might be userspace
apps which rely on pid being filled in from siocb->scm->creds or
userspace apps which don't expect the NLM_F_MULTI flag even when
they should so we should check with all parties involved.
