[NETLINK]: Make netlink_callback->done() optional

2005-11-10T01:26:40+00:00

Most netlink families make no use of the done() callback, making
it optional gets rid of all unnecessary dummy implementations.

[NETLINK]: Add properly module refcounting for kernel netlink sockets.

2005-08-29T22:35:08+00:00

- Remove bogus code for compiling netlink as module
- Add module refcounting support for modules implementing a netlink
  protocol
- Add support for autoloading modules that implement a netlink protocol
  as soon as someone opens a socket for that protocol

[NETLINK]: Missing initializations in dumped data

2005-06-28T19:55:30+00:00

Mostly missing initialization of padding fields of 1 or 2 bytes length,
two instances of uninitialized nlmsgerr->msg of 16 bytes length.

[NETLINK]: Set correct pid for ioctl originating netlink events

2005-06-19T05:55:51+00:00

This patch ensures that netlink events created as a result of programns
using ioctls (such as ifconfig, route etc) contains the correct PID of
those events.

[NETLINK]: Correctly set NLM_F_MULTI without checking the pid

2005-06-19T05:54:12+00:00

This patch rectifies some rtnetlink message builders that derive the
flags from the pid. It is now explicit like the other cases
which get it right. Also fixes half a dozen dumpers which did not
set NLM_F_MULTI at all.

[NETLINK]: Neighbour table configuration and statistics via rtnetlink

2005-06-19T05:50:55+00:00

To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the
NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is
spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message
size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message
in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as
statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set.
This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device
specific parameter sets.

Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be
used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified
by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do
not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the
corresponding interface index.

To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL
with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3],
NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked
otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by
setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding
device.
