[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnl_put_cacheinfo() to unify some code

2006-12-03T05:30:44+00:00

IPv4, IPv6, and DECNet all use struct rta_cacheinfo in a similiar
way, therefore rtnl_put_cacheinfo() is added to reuse code.

[NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible

2006-12-03T05:22:11+00:00

Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new()
instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly.

Replaces error handling of message construction functions when
constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies
a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

[RTNETLINK]: Possible dereference in net/core/rtnetlink.c

2006-09-29T01:01:23+00:00

another possible dereference spotted by coverity (#cid 1390).
if the nlmsg_parse() call fails, we goto errout, where we call
dev_put(), with dev still initialized to NULL.

[RTNETLINK]: Fix netdevice name corruption

2006-09-22T22:18:50+00:00

When changing a device by ifindex without including a IFLA_IFNAME
attribute, the ifname variable contains random garbage and is used
to change the device name.

[RTNETLINK]: Fix typo causing wrong skb to be freed

2006-09-22T22:18:43+00:00

A typo introduced by myself which leads to freeing the skb
containing the netlink message when it should free the newly
allocated skb for the reply.
