Subject: Existing netlink kernel <--> kernel communication
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:37:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43e72e890908171137v73732ea3g957e574eae3a81d8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Was curious if there are existing use cases of netlink for kernel <-->
kernel communication rather than the typical kernel <--> userspace.
The original RFC 3549 [1] does specify it could have been used for
"intra-kernel messaging", but am just not aware of existing use cases.
A pointer could help.
