Hi, Thanks to my first RFC proposal to cap a netlink message in case of an error, i have rebased my work on Pablo Neira Ayuso. After some few trials, it appears to me in_skb->sk is not the correct socket to deal with. Here comes a reworked and tested version based on Pablo's one. Also i believe it could be good to make it reach stable as it is somehow a bug fix. What do you think ?
