[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/3] dm-netlink events

[Mike Anderson <andmike us ibm com>]

This is an update of my previous patch to add netlink event support to dm
multipath. I have generalized the interface and made it so all callers
of dm_table_event can also generate a netlink event.

The skb mempool in this patch is derived / copied from
drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c.

This patch series contains:
1 dm-netlink skeleton support.
2 The netlink support for dm-netlink.
3 Add init calls and send on path failure and reinstate events.

I have ran path failure testing on a small config.

Example out:
1.) Path failure.
Msg Type: 17 Recevied
Event Type: 1 Version: 6
[Event]: SEQNUM: 7, Time: Tue Nov 29 21:50:47 2005, DMNAME: 8:160

2.) Path reinstate
Msg Type: 17 Recevied
Event Type: 2 Version: 6
[Event]: SEQNUM: 12, Time: Tue Nov 29 21:51:57 2005, DMNAME: 8:48
