* [PATCH] severing skbuff.h -> mm.hAl Viro2006-12-041-0/+1
| | | | Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [DECNET] address: Convert to new netlink interfaceThomas Graf2006-12-021-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | Extends the netlink interface to support the __le16 type and converts address addition, deletion and, dumping to use the new netlink interface. Fixes multiple occasions of possible illegal memory references due to not validated netlink attributes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possibleThomas Graf2006-12-021-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new() instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly. Replaces error handling of message construction functions when constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

* [IPV4]: introduce nla_get_be32()/NLA_PUT_BE32()Al Viro2006-09-281-0/+12
| | | | | | | net-endian counterparts of nla_get_u32()/NLA_PUT_U32() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [Netlink]: add nla_validate_nested()Paul Moore2006-09-251-0/+19
| | | | | | | | Add a new function, nla_validate_nested(), to validate nested Netlink attributes. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETLINK]: add nla_for_each_nested() to the interface listPaul Moore2006-09-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | At the top of include/net/netlink.h is a list of Netlink interfaces, however, the nla_for_each_nested() macro was not listed. This patch adds this interface to the list at the top of the header file. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETLINK]: Improve string attribute validationThomas Graf2006-09-221-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces a new attribute type NLA_NUL_STRING to support NUL terminated strings. Attributes of this kind require to carry a terminating NUL within the maximum specified in the policy. The `old' NLA_STRING which is not required to be NUL terminated is extended to provide means to specify a maximum length of the string. Aims at easing the pain with using nla_strlcpy() on temporary buffers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NETLINK]: remove third bogus argument from NLA_PUT_FLAGJohannes Berg2006-09-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This patch removes the 'value' argument from NLA_PUT_FLAG which is unused anyway. The documentation comment was already correct so it doesn't need an update :) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [IPv4]: FIB configuration using struct fib_configThomas Graf2006-09-221-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl. A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through nexthop configuration arrays. A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink information to be used for notifications later on. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [RTNETLINK]: Add rtnetlink notification interfaceThomas Graf2006-09-221-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds rtnl_notify() to send rtnetlink notification messages and rtnl_set_sk_err() to report notification errors as socket errors in order to indicate the need of a resync due to loss of events. nlmsg_report() is added to properly document the meaning of NLM_F_ECHO.

* [NETLINK]: Add notification message sending interfaceThomas Graf2006-09-221-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds nlmsg_notify() implementing proper notification logic. The message is multicasted to all listeners in the group. The applications the requests orignates from can request a unicast back report in which case said socket will be excluded from the multicast to avoid duplicated notifications. nlmsg_multicast() is extended to take allocation flags to allow notification in atomic contexts.

* [NETLINK]: Extend netlink messaging interfaceThomas Graf2006-09-221-10/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds: nlmsg_get_pos() return current position in message nlmsg_trim() trim part of message nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len) reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data) add attribute w/o hdr nla_find_nested() find attribute in nested attributes Fixes nlmsg_new() to take allocation flags and consider size.

* [NETLINK]: Generic netlink receive queue processorThomas Graf2005-11-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function for each netlink message found. The callback function may refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will return with a qlen != 0.

* [NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interfaceThomas Graf2005-11-101-0/+877
Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
