From e9cc8bddaea3944fabfebb968bc88d603239beed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 14:53:30 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
