[PATCH 2/5] netlink: have netlink per-protocol bind function return an error code.

Richard Guy Briggs rgb at redhat.com
Wed Feb 19 18:08:20 UTC 2014


Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an error code
rather than void to signal a failure.

This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including
capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in
multicast groups.
