Summary

The previous commit conservatively mimiced operation of soreceive_generic().
The new code does two things:

  • parses Netlink message headers and always returns at least one full nlmsg
  • hides nl_buf boundaries from the userland, copying out several at once

More details can be found in the large comment block added.
