Hi Eric,

Sorry reply on top.

From the source code from linex-next.git tree, line 55~64:

#include <net/sock.h>
#include <net/netlink.h>            *******
#include <linux/skbuff.h>
#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY
#include <linux/security.h>
#endif
#include <net/netlink.h>            *******
#include <linux/freezer.h>
#include <linux/tty.h>
#include <linux/pid_namespace.h>

net/netlink.h is included twice, and linux/netlink.h is not included by this file.

net/netlink.h includes linux/netlink.h but linux/netlink.h does not include net/netlink.h

since the audit code uses the nlmsg_* functions provided in net/netlink.h it seems we need this include.

since the audit code uses netlink_unicast provided in linux/netlink.h it seems we need that include.

I don't see duplication even if by chance one of them would have included the other...
