netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_start

2012-10-28T17:14:15Z

[ Upstream commit 6dc878a8ca39e93f70c42f3dd7260bde10c1e0f1 ] I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the same time. It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module inet_diag. I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to. Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo. Change From v3: change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and Eric. Change From v2: delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump and netlink_sock_destruct.

netlink: allow to pass data pointer to netlink_dump_start() callback

2012-02-26T19:10:44Z

This patch allows you to pass a data pointer that can be accessed from the dump callback. Netfilter is going to use this patch to provide filtered dumps to user-space. This is specifically interesting in ctnetlink that may handle lots of conntrack entries. We can save precious cycles by skipping the conversion to TLV format of conntrack entries that are not interesting for user-space. More specifically, ctnetlink will include one operation to allow to filter the dumping of conntrack entries by ctmark values. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: add netlink_dump_control structure for netlink_dump_start()

2012-02-26T19:10:06Z

Davem considers that the argument list of this interface is getting out of control. This patch tries to address this issue following his proposal: struct netlink_dump_control c = { .dump = dump, .done = done, ... }; netlink_dump_start(..., &c); Suggested by David S. Miller.

inet_diag: Partly rename inet_ to sock_

2011-12-06T18:57:36Z

The ultimate goal is to get the sock_diag module, that works in family+protocol terms. Currently this is suitable to do on the inet_diag basis, so rename parts of the code. It will be moved to sock_diag.c later. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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
