Currently nlmsg_unicast() is used by functions that dump structures that
can be different in size for compat tasks, see dump_one_state() and
dump_one_policy().
The following nlmsg_unicast() users exist today in xfrm:
Function | Message can be different
| in size on compat
-------------------------------------------|------------------------------
xfrm_get_spdinfo() | N
xfrm_get_sadinfo() | N
xfrm_get_sa() | Y
xfrm_alloc_userspi() | Y
xfrm_get_policy() | Y
xfrm_get_ae() | N
Besides, dump_one_state() and dump_one_policy() can be used by filtered
netlink dump for XFRM_MSG_GETSA, XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY.
Just as for xfrm multicast, allocate frag_list for compat skb journey
down to recvmsg() which will give user the desired skb according to
syscall bitness.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
