drivers, connector: convert cn_callback_entry.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-10-22T01:22:39+00:00

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable cn_callback_entry.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

connector: allow multiple messages to be sent in one packet

2014-05-27T20:56:21+00:00

This increases the amount of bundling to reduce the number of packets
sent.  For the one wire use there can be multiple struct
w1_netlink_cmd in a struct w1_netlink_msg and multiple of those in
struct cn_msg, and with this change multiple of those in a struct
nlmsghdr, and at each level the len identifies there being multiple of
the next.

connector: add portid to unicast in addition to broadcasting

2014-02-07T23:40:17+00:00

This allows replying only to the requestor portid while still
supporting broadcasting.  Pass 0 to portid for the previous behavior.

drivers: hv: kvp: Add/cleanup connector defines

2012-02-02T23:30:47+00:00

The current KVP code carries some private connector related defines.
Update connector.h to have all the KVP defines. As part of this patch
get rid of some unused defines.

The CN_NETLINK_USERS must be set to the highest valid index +1.

connector: convert to synchronous netlink message processing

2011-03-31T00:14:33+00:00

Commits 01a16b21 (netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms)
and c53fa1ed (netlink: kill loginuid/sessionid/sid members from struct
netlink_skb_parms) removed some members from struct netlink_skb_parms
that depend on the current context, all netlink users are now required
to do synchronous message processing.

connector however queues received messages and processes them in a work
queue, which is not valid anymore. This patch converts connector to do
synchronous message processing by invoking the registered callback handler
directly from the netlink receive function.

In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locks held, a
reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, the reference
is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device's queue_list
and released after the callback handler has been invoked.
