[NETLINK]: illegal use of pid in rtnetlink
When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket, it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port", the confusion would be avoided. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
