Subject: genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocation
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb9b18fb55b03477fe5bdd3e97245d6d4d3dee4f;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocation

Allocates a new sk_buff large enough to cover the specified payload
plus required Netlink headers. Will check receiving socket for
memory mapped i/o capability and use it if enabled. Will fall back
to non-mapped skb if message size exceeds the frame size of the ring.
