[NETLINK]: illegal use of pid in rtnetlink

2006-02-10T00:43:41+00:00

When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket,
it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing
to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port",
the confusion would be avoided.

[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

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.
