1579 * then returns ENOBUFS. We can then re-send the request.
1583 * 1. Netlink depends on sequence numbers to match up requests and
1584 * replies. The sender of a request supplies a sequence number, and
1585 * the reply echos back that sequence number.
1587 * This is fine, but (1) some kernel netlink implementations are
1588 * broken, in that they fail to echo sequence numbers and (2) this
1589 * function will drop packets with non-matching sequence numbers, so
1590 * that only a single request can be usefully transacted at a time.
1592 * 2. Resending the request causes it to be re-executed, so the request
1593 * needs to be idempotent.
