SubjectNetlink socket problem
Hi,

I write a kernel module and a userspace client. They use netlink sockets to communicate with each
other. The source codes are attached below. Inserting the module is ok but when I ran the client,
my kernel crashed after the client received first message from the module. Is there anything wrong
in my codes?

Thank you.
