crypto: Add userspace configuration API

2011-10-21T12:24:03Z

This patch adds a basic userspace configuration API for the crypto layer. With this it is possible to instantiate, remove and to show crypto algorithms from userspace. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

headers, net: Use __kernel_sa_family_t in more definitions shared with userland

net: Make userland include of netlink.h more sane.

2011-08-08T05:48:07Z

Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it precisely includes sys/socket.h first. The issue is where the definition of "sa_family_t" comes from. We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380 Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the sockaddr_storage type. First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t" to linux/socket.h that is always defined. Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t". Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t in user visible datastructures. Reported-by: Michel Machado Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: advertise incomplete dumps

2011-06-22T20:09:45Z

Consider the following situation: * a dump that would show 8 entries, four in the first round, and four in the second * between the first and second rounds, 6 entries are removed * now the second round will not show any entry, and even if there is a sequence/generation counter the application will not know To solve this problem, add a new flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR to the netlink header that indicates the dump wasn't consistent, this flag can also be set on the MSG_DONE message that terminates the dump, and as such above situation can be detected. To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs to use this new functionality. The correct way to do that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for each new message. The core code will also call this function for the final MSG_DONE message. To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header from the genetlink user header. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: David S.

rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size

2011-06-10T03:38:07Z

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.
