Hi,

Some of the netlink routines (eg rtnetlink_dump_ifinfo or inet6_dump_ifaddr) 
seem to get
user arguments from cb->args['n']. However I was not able to figure out where 
the
arguments are being set, can anyone help ?

netlink_dump_start() is where the cb gets allocated (initialized to 0), and 
that calls
netlink_dump(), which calls the assigned routine. I couldn't find where the 
args gets
initialized to user provided values. Any pointer to what to look for is very 
much
appreciated.

Thanks,

- KK
