[Devel] [PATCH net-next 0/3] [RFC] netlink: prepare to dump and restore data from a receive queue

[Andrey Vagin]

CRIU can dump queued data for unix and tcp sockets,
now it's time for netlink sockets.

Here are there questions.
* How to dump data from a receive queue
  We can set peeking offset like we do for unix sockets.

* How to restore data back to a receive queue
  I suggest to add a repair mode like we do for tcp sockets.

* When we can dump data from a receive queue.
  I think we can do this only if a socket doesn't have a running callback.

Andrey Vagin (3):
  netlink: allow to set peeking offset for sockets
  netlink: add an ability to restore messages in a receive queue
  netlink/diag: report flags for netlink sockets
