RDMA: Add netlink infrastructure

2011-05-20T18:46:11Z

Add basic RDMA netlink infrastructure that allows for registration of RDMA clients for which data is to be exported and supplies message construction callbacks. Signed-off-by: Nir Muchtar [ Reorganize a few things, add CONFIG_NET dependency. - Roland ] Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms

2011-03-03T21:32:07Z

Netlink message processing in the kernel is synchronous these days, capabilities can be checked directly in security_netlink_recv() from the current process.

net: Move "struct net" declaration inside the KERNEL macro guard

2010-09-22T20:21:05Z

This patch reduces namespace pollution by moving the "struct net" declaration out of the userspace-facing portion of linux/netlink.h. It has no impact on the kernel. (This came up because we have several C++ applications which use "net" as a namespace name.) Signed-off-by: Ollie Wild Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: Implment netlink_broadcast_filtered

2010-05-21T16:37:32Z

When netlink sockets are used to convey data that is in a namespace we need a way to select a subset of the listening sockets to deliver the packet to. For the network namespace we have been doing this by only transmitting packets in the correct network namespace. For data belonging to other namespaces netlink_bradcast_filtered provides a mechanism that allows us to examine the destination socket and to decide if we should transmit the specified packet to it.

netlink: fix NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS in netlink_set_err()

2010-03-20T21:29:03Z

Currently, ENOBUFS errors are reported to the socket via netlink_set_err() even if NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS is set. However, that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the prototype of netlink_set_err() to return the number of sockets that have set the NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket option. This return value is used in the next patch in these bugfix series. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

genetlink: fix netns vs. netlink table locking (2)

2009-09-24T22:44:05Z

Similar to commit d136f1bd366fdb7e747ca7e0218171e7a00a98a5, there's a bug when unregistering a generic netlink family, which is caught by the might_sleep() added in that commit: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:183 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1510, name: rmmod 2 locks held by rmmod/1510: #0: (genl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [] genl_unregister_family+0x2b/0x130 #1: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [] __genl_unregister_mc_group+0x1c/0x120 Pid: 1510, comm: rmmod Not tainted 2.6.31-wl #444 Call Trace: [] __might_sleep+0x119/0x150 [] netlink_table_grab+0x21/0x100 [] netlink_clear_multicast_users+0x23/0x60 [] __genl_unregister_mc_group+0x71/0x120 [] genl_unregister_family+0x56/0x130 [] nl80211_exit+0x15/0x20 [cfg80211] [] cfg80211_exit+0x1a/0x40 [cfg80211] Fix in the same way by grabbing the netlink table lock before doing rcu_read_lock().

genetlink: fix netns vs. netlink table locking

2009-09-15T00:02:50Z

Since my commits introducing netns awareness into genetlink we can get this problem: BUG: scheduling while atomic: modprobe/1178/0x00000002 2 locks held by modprobe/1178: #0: (genl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [] genl_register_mc_grou #1: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [] genl_register_mc_g Pid: 1178, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.31-rc8-wl-34789-g95cb731-dirty # Call Trace: [] __schedule_bug+0x85/0x90 [] schedule+0x108/0x588 [] netlink_table_grab+0xa1/0xf0 [] netlink_change_ngroups+0x47/0x100 [] genl_register_mc_group+0x12f/0x290 because I overlooked that netlink_table_grab() will schedule, thinking it was just the rwlock. However, in the contention case, that isn't actually true. Fix this by letting the code grab the netlink table lock first and then the RCU for netns protection.
