genetlink: Build a generic netlink family module alias

2012-05-30T02:33:56Z

Generic netlink searches for -type- formatted aliases when requesting a module to fulfill a protocol request (i.e. net-pf-16-proto-16-type-, where x is a type value). However generic netlink protocols have no well defined type numbers, they have string names. Modify genl_ctrl_getfamily to request an alias in the format net-pf-16-proto-16-family- instead, where x is a generic string, and add a macro that builds on the previously added MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME macro to allow modules to specifify those generic strings. Note, l2tp previously hacked together an net-pf-16-proto-16-type-l2tp alias using the MODULE_ALIAS macro, with these updates we can convert that to use the PROTO_NAME macro.

genetlink: Add rcu_dereference_genl and genl_dereference.

2011-12-03T17:35:08Z

This adds rcu_dereference_genl and genl_dereference, which are genl variants of the RTNL functions to enforce proper locking with lockdep and sparse. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

genetlink: Add lockdep_genl_is_held().

2011-12-03T17:35:07Z

Open vSwitch uses genl_mutex locking to protect datapath data-structures like flow-table, flow-actions. Following patch adds lockdep_genl_is_held() which is used for rcu annotation to prove locking. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

netlink: Export genl_lock() API for use by modules

2010-04-03T21:56:05Z

This lets kernel modules which use genl netlink APIs serialize netlink processing. Signed-off-by: James Chapman Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[GENETLINK]: Move command capabilities to flags.

2006-12-07T02:38:41Z

This patch moves command capabilities to command flags. Other than being cleaner, saves several bytes. We increment the nlctrl version so as to signal to user space that to not expect the attributes. We will try to be careful not to do this too often ;-> Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[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] ....
