[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.

[NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowi

2006-12-03T05:21:39+00:00

Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
its usage.

The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
the config options and enable mark based routing by
default.

[NETLINK]: Make use of NLA_STRING/NLA_NUL_STRING attribute validation

Converts existing NLA_STRING attributes to use the new
validation features, saving a couple of temporary buffers.

[IPV4]: Add support for fwmark masks in routing rules

2006-09-22T22:18:10+00:00

Add a FRA_FWMASK attributes for fwmark masks. For compatibility a mask of
0xFFFFFFFF is used when a mark value != 0 is sent without a mask.

[IPV4]: Increase number of possible routing tables to 2^32

2006-09-22T21:54:26+00:00

Increase the number of possible routing tables to 2^32 by replacing the
fixed sized array of pointers by a hash table and replacing iterations
over all possible table IDs by hash table walking.

[NET]: Introduce RTA_TABLE/FRA_TABLE attributes

2006-09-22T21:54:25+00:00

Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute
to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by
continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its
limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This
implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them
need to use RTA_TABLE.
