Is that right?

At first glance, this could work yes.

Great! Now I have only to write the userland tool. :)

However, it seems you're trying to encapsulate your pps_netlink_msg into
a generic netlink message which itself is already encapsulated into a
netlink message, and then multiplex all your PPS commands on
ppl_genl_data_ready(). IMHO, you should have your different PPS commands
declared as a genl_ops array, and then have a specific doit routine per PPS
command. This would make your code cleaner and more secure (see the
"Operation Granularity" section at
http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Generic_Netlink_HOWTO).

I see. I already supposed that but currently I'm trying to do minimal
changes to my code in order to verify that everythink works well
again, then I'll do the complete work.

Thanks a lot,

Rodolfo
