np.
Q: Something odd i noticed when looking at pfkey (different behavior
from netlink):

pfkey_sendmsg() does at the end:
return err ? : len;

So if err was 0, it will always return the length which is
16 in the flush which was causing the EAGAIN Alexey saw. If i returned
the correct error (ESRCH), it goes unfiltered.
It sounds to me that should just unconditionaly return err, no?

cheers,
jamal
