From edf0208702007ec1f6a36756fdd005f771a4cf17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Denis V. Lunev" Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:18:32 -0800 Subject: [NET]: Make netlink_kernel_release publically available as sk_release_kernel. This staff will be needed for non-netlink kernel sockets, which should also not pin a namespace like tcp_socket and icmp_socket. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
