Audit: collect sessionid in netlink messages

2008-04-28T10:18:03Z

Previously I added sessionid output to all audit messages where it was available but we still didn't know the sessionid of the sender of netlink messages. This patch adds that information to netlink messages so we can audit who sent netlink messages. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[IPV4] fib_trie: rescan if key is lost during dump

2008-02-01T03:28:23Z

Normally during a dump the key of the last dumped entry is used for continuation, but since lock is dropped it might be lost. In that case fallback to the old counter based N^2 behaviour. This means the dump will end up skipping some routes which matches what FIB_HASH does. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS]: Consolidate kernel netlink socket destruction.

2008-01-28T23:08:07Z

Create a specific helper for netlink kernel socket disposal. This just let the code look better and provides a ground for proper disposal inside a namespace. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Tested-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts

2007-11-07T12:15:12Z

Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again. ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.

[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious

2007-10-11T04:15:29Z

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attribute

2007-10-10T23:49:16Z

This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced. The byte-order flag is yet unused, it's intended use is to allow automatic byte order convertions for all atomic types. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink

2007-10-10T23:49:09Z

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
