From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 06:53:30 +0000 (+0800) Subject: netlink: Move netlink attribute parsing support to lib X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9cc8bddaea3944fabfebb968bc88d603239beed;p=linux-beck.git netlink: Move netlink attribute parsing support to lib Netlink attribute parsing may be used even if CONFIG_NET is not set. Move it from net/netlink to lib and control its inclusion based on the new config symbol CONFIG_NLATTR, which is selected by CONFIG_NET. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Acked-by: David S.
