netlink_kernel_create is not working with latest linux kernel

Question

I am getting compiler error while compiling my old kernel module which is using netlink functions.

int
init_module()
{
    /* Initialize the Netlin         


        

Answer 1

Just replace

nl_sk = netlink_kernel_create(&init_net, 17, 0, recv_cmd, NULL, THIS_MODULE);

with the following

struct netlink_kernel_cfg cfg = {
    .input = recv_cmd,
};

nl_sk = netlink_kernel_create(&init_net, 17, &cfg);

and it should work. I ran into the same problems.
