netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic

2009-02-25T07:18:28+00:00

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

net: Fix routing tables with id > 255 for legacy software

2008-06-10T22:44:49+00:00

Most legacy software do not like tables > 255 as rtm_table is u8
so tb_id is sent &0xff and it is possible to mismatch for example
table 510 with table 254 (main).

This patch introduces RT_TABLE_COMPAT=252 so the code uses it if
tb_id > 255. It makes such old applications happy, new
ones are still able to use RTA_TABLE to get a proper table id.

[NETNS]: Lookup in FIB semantic hashes taking into account the namespace.

2008-02-01T03:28:41+00:00

The namespace is not available in the fib_sync_down_addr, add it as a
parameter.

Looking up a device by the pointer to it is OK. Looking up using a
result from fib_trie/fib_hash table lookup is also safe. No need to
fix that at all.  So, just fix lookup by address and insertion to the
hash table path.

[NETNS]: Add a namespace mark to fib_info.

2008-02-01T03:28:40+00:00

This is required to make fib_info lookups namespace aware. In the
other case initial namespace devices are marked as dead in the local
routing table during other namespace stop.

[IPV4]: fib_sync_down rework.

2008-02-01T03:28:39+00:00

fib_sync_down can be called with an address and with a device. In
reality it is called either with address OR with a device. The
codepath inside is completely different, so lets separate it into two
calls for these two cases.
