netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create

2012-09-08T22:46:30+00:00

This patch defines netlink_kernel_create as a wrapper function of
__netlink_kernel_create to hide the struct module *me parameter
(which seems to be THIS_MODULE in all existing netlink subsystems).

netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create

2012-06-29T23:46:02+00:00

This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

infiniband: netlink: Move away from NLMSG_NEW().

2012-06-27T04:54:14+00:00

And use nlmsg_data() while we're here too.

infiniband: Stop using NLA_PUT*().

2012-04-02T08:33:42+00:00

These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

netlink: add netlink_dump_control structure for netlink_dump_start()

2012-02-26T19:10:06+00:00

Davem considers that the argument list of this interface is getting
out of control. This patch tries to address this issue following
his proposal:

struct netlink_dump_control c = { .dump = dump, .done = done, ... };

netlink_dump_start(..., &c);

Suggested by David S. Miller.

infiniband: add in export.h for files using EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE

2011-10-31T23:31:35+00:00

These were getting it implicitly via device.h --> module.h but
we are going to stop that when we clean up the headers.

Fix these in advance so the tree remains biscect-clean.

rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size

2011-06-10T03:38:07+00:00

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page.  This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.

Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.

RDMA: Add netlink infrastructure

2011-05-20T18:46:11+00:00

Add basic RDMA netlink infrastructure that allows for registration of
RDMA clients for which data is to be exported and supplies message
construction callbacks.
