netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create

2012-06-29T23:46:02+00:00

This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

connector: use nlmsg_put() instead of NLMSG_PUT() macro.

2012-06-27T04:14:20+00:00

The NLMSG_PUT() macro contains a hidden goto which makes the code hard
to audit and very error prone.

While been there also use the inline function nlmsg_data() instead of the
NLMSG_DATA() macro to do explicit type checking.

connector: add comm change event report to proc connector

2011-09-28T17:41:50+00:00

Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks.  Such an event
becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in
different manner.

A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully
application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime.
Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain
monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon
listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place
specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions.

It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without
this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator
task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc
connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value
from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the
matter.

proc_fork_connector: a lockless ->real_parent usage is not safe

2011-07-29T01:26:32+00:00

proc_fork_connector() uses ->real_parent lockless.  This is not safe if
copy_process() was called with CLONE_THREAD or CLONE_PARENT, in this case
the parent != current can go away at any moment.

connector: add an event for monitoring process tracers

2011-07-18T19:38:33+00:00

This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
successful process tracer attach or detach.

If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
disconnection null process id is returned.

Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
process policies can be applied to them if needed.

Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

Connector: Correctly set the error code in case of success when dispatching receive callbacks

2011-06-07T19:02:00+00:00

The recent changes to the connector code introduced this bug where even
when a callback was invoked, we would return an error resulting in
double freeing of the skb. This patch fixes this bug.
