genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse

2013-11-19T21:39:06Z

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

genetlink: pass family to functions using groups

2013-11-19T21:39:06Z

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID within the family, rather than the global group ID. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()

2013-11-19T21:39:05Z

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

drbd: Stop using NLA_PUT*().

These macros no longer exist in kernel version v3.5-rc1. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Also need to check for DRBD_GENLA_F_MANDATORY flags before nla_find_nested()

2012-11-08T15:57:45Z

This is done by introducing drbd_nla_find_nested() which handles the flag before calling nla_find_nested(). Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: drbd_nla_check_mandatory(): Need to remove the DRBD_GENLA_F_MANDATORY flag first

2012-11-08T15:55:56Z

We need to remove the flag before checking for valid types. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Make drbd's use of netlink attribute flags less confusing

2012-11-08T15:55:55Z

Make it more clear in the flag names which flags are internal to drbd, and which are not. The check for mandatory attributes is the only extension visible at the netlink layer. Attributes with this flag set would look like unknown attributes to some kernel versions. The netlink layer would ignore them and also skip consistency checks on the attribute type and legth. To avoid this, we check for mandatory attributes first, remove the mandatory flag, and then process the attributes normally. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Output signed / unsigned netlink fields correctly

2012-11-08T15:55:55Z

Note: All input values are still treated as signed; unsigned long long values are still broken. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg
