Subject: PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, 2 => EPROTONOSUPPORT


Hello,


This code snippet:
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <linux/netlink.h>
int main() {
         socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_USERSOCK);
         return 0;
}

ends up with:

socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, 2) = -1 EPROTONOSUPPORT (Protocol not 
supported)

since 2.6.33.

I bisected it down to:
974c37e9d88c3e5a3e56eb98cb9c84232eb2bdcb is the first bad commit
commit 974c37e9d88c3e5a3e56eb98cb9c84232eb2bdcb

     netlink: fix for too early rmmod


This is strange, because the code snippet even fails on a monolithic 
kernel.
When I revert this commit on top of 2.6.36-rc3, it works.

Was this intended, that this code snippet doesn't work this way anymore or
is this just a bug?
