From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> SIGEV_THREAD means that a given callback should be called in the context on a new thread. This must be done by the C library. The kernel must deliver a notice of the event to the C library when the callback should be called. This patch switches to a new, simpler interface: User space creates a socket with socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW,0) and passes the fd to the mq_notify call together with a cookie. When the mq_notify() condition is satisfied, the kernel "writes" the cookie to the socket. User space then reads the cookie and calls the appropriate callback.
