Also in regards to the nesting, isnt there a need for nla_nest_cancel in case of failures to add TLVs?I thought about it, but when I looked at the code of genlmsg_cancel() and nla_nest_cancel(). It seemed that genlmsg_cancel() should suffice.
If your policy is to never send a message if anything fails, then you are fine. What would be really useful now that you understand this, is if you can help extending/cleaning the document i sent you. Or send me a table of contents of how it would have flowed better for you. cheers, jamal
