[GENL]: Provide more information to userspace about registered genl families

2006-09-22T22:18:51Z

Additionaly exports the following information when providing the list of registered generic netlink families: - protocol version - header size - maximum number of attributes - list of available operations including - id - flags - avaiability of policy and doit/dumpit function libnl HEAD provides a utility to read this new information: 0x0010 nlctrl version 1 hdrsize 0 maxattr 6 op GETFAMILY (0x03) [POLICY,DOIT,DUMPIT] 0x0011 NLBL_MGMT version 1 hdrsize 0 maxattr 0 op unknown (0x02) [DOIT] op unknown (0x03) [DOIT] ....

[NETLINK]: Make use of NLA_STRING/NLA_NUL_STRING attribute validation

2006-09-22T22:18:25Z

Converts existing NLA_STRING attributes to use the new validation features, saving a couple of temporary buffers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Improve string attribute validation

2006-09-22T22:18:24Z

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 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Add notification message sending interface

2006-09-22T21:54:49Z

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]: Convert core netlink handling to new netlink api

2006-09-22T21:53:44Z

Fixes a theoretical memory and locking leak when the size of the netlink header would exceed the skb tailroom. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Extend netlink messaging interface

2006-09-22T21:53:43Z

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]: Call panic if nl_table allocation fails

2006-08-30T04:22:18Z

This patch makes crash happen if initialization of nl_table fails in initcalls. It is better than getting use after free crash later. Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
