Thanks a lot for working on this. I did not fully review this patch, but one thing that would make me more comfortable with cmsg handling is if the code would identify SCM_RIGHTS cmsgs and close the fds that they contain. I don't know currently whether the kernel ever sends fds to userspace over netlink cmsgs, but for unix domain socket messages sent between user processes it is risky to accept cmsg data without closing any received fds: it makes the receiving process prone to fd leaks. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
