I already know about a problem in 2.6.24, but with this report about a problem in 2.6.22 also, it looks like there is a fundamental flaw in how eCryptfs uses netlink. At this point, rather than debug this, I may elect to abandon netlink altogether and switch to a procfs channel of communication between the daemons and the kernel module. I have most of the code written for that already (ecryptfsddev branch in the kernel.org git repo). I will see if I can resolve the netlink bug this week, but I do not want to divert too many resources toward fixing code that is likely to get scrapped anyway. If it turns out to be an easy fix, then I will have netlink running reliably soon, otherwise netlink is going away and eCryptfs will be using procfs instead in the future. Thanks, Mike
