netlink: clarify attribute length check documentation

2011-11-04T21:48:23Z

The documentation for how the length of attributes is checked is wrong ("Exact length" isn't true, the policy checks are for "minimum length") and a bit misleading. Make it more complete and explain what really happens. Cc: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: advertise incomplete dumps

2011-06-22T20:09:45Z

Consider the following situation: * a dump that would show 8 entries, four in the first round, and four in the second * between the first and second rounds, 6 entries are removed * now the second round will not show any entry, and even if there is a sequence/generation counter the application will not know To solve this problem, add a new flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR to the netlink header that indicates the dump wasn't consistent, this flag can also be set on the MSG_DONE message that terminates the dump, and as such above situation can be detected. To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs to use this new functionality. The correct way to do that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for each new message. The core code will also call this function for the final MSG_DONE message. To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header from the genetlink user header. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: David S.

netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args

2010-11-16T17:52:32Z

The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without casting. While at it, constify a data array.

netlink: Make nlmsg_find_attr take a const nlmsghdr*.
