Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] netem: trace enhancement

I finally managed to rewrite the netem trace extension to use rtnetlink 
communication for the data transfer for user space to kernel space.

The kernel patch is available here:
http://www.tcn.hypert.net/tcn_kernel_2_6_23_rtnetlink

and the iproute patch is here:
http://www.tcn.hypert.net/tcn_iproute2_2_6_23_rtnetlink

Whenever new data is needed the kernel module sends a notification to 
the user space process. Thereupon the user space process sends a data 
package to the kernel module.
I had to write a new qdisc_notify function (qdisc_notify_pid) since the 
other was acquiring a lock, which we already hold in this situation.

I hope everything works as expected and I'm looking forward for your 
comments.

Thanks!
Ariane
