Netlink is a fundamental kernel/user messaging interface which has evolved over the years. David Ahern and Roopa Prabhu will co-chair the Netlink Workshop.

Nice!

...

Among topics of discussion:

• status of changes over the last few years
• kernel side filtering
  • classical, socket cbpf, ebpf extensions
• reducing notifications
• strict get requests
• Growth of attributes and impacts to stack memory use
• Lessons learnt and ideas to use the learnings
• Performance improvements
• Networking APIs that need to be converted to netlink(ethtool etc)

In the link, it has: "Lack of Documentation" I assume it is about the APIs built on top of it, right? As in, not on netlink itself.

Marcelo, you are right. Its about covering the ever growing netlink API documentation.
