datapath: Rename last_action() as nla_is_last() and move to netlink.h

2014-10-28T21:07:29+00:00

The original motivation for this change was to allow the helper to be used
in files other than actions.c as part of work on an odp select group
action.

It was as pointed out by Thomas Graf that this helper would be best off
living in netlink.h. Furthermore, I think that the generic nature of this
helper means it is best off in netlink.h regardless of if it is used more
than one .c file or not. Thus, I would like it considered independent of
the work on an odp select group action.

netevent/netlink.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:39+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

(I need s32 in team driver), so add them.

netlink: Delete all NLA_PUT*() macros.

2012-04-02T08:33:45+00:00

They were error prone due to an embedded goto, and the entire tree has
been converted away from using them.
