[dm-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/2] dm-mp netlink events

[Mike Anderson <andmike us ibm com>]

This patch series creates a dm-mp hardware handler that sends netlink
messages when a hardware handlers error function is called. The skb
mempool in this patch is derived / copied from
drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c.

Currently I have created this support in a hardware handler to reduce the
impact on other code, but this code could easily be moved to
dm-mpath.c::do_end_io or higher if desired. The events will also contain
better information once the scsi error mapping patches are done.

This patch series contains:
	1 A hardware handler that sends events over netlink (dm-evt)
	2 A sample user space program to receive / display events.
	  (dm_evtd)
