Let the kernel set nl_pid automatically #18

Closed debfx closed 3 years ago

debfx commented 3 years ago

Setting the netlink nl_pid to the pid is problematic if you want to use multiple netlink connections in the same application or the application runs in another pid namespace (nl_pid needs to to system-wide unique).

With nl_pid==0 the kernel automatically assigns a unique nl_pid.
