<id>f9c2288837ba072b21dba955f04a4c97eaa77b1e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for mmap'ed recvmsg(). To allow the kernel to construct messages
into the mapped area, a dataless skb is allocated and the data pointer is
set to point into the ring frame. This means frames will be delivered to
userspace in order of allocation instead of order of transmission. This
usually doesn't matter since the order is either not determinable by
userspace or message creation/transmission is serialized. The only case
where this can have a visible difference is nfnetlink_queue. Userspace
can't assume mmap'ed messages have ordered IDs anymore and needs to check
this if using batched verdicts.

For non-mapped sockets, nothing changes.

Memory mapped netlink needs to store the receiving userspace socket
when sending from the kernel to userspace. Rename 'ssk' to 'sk' to
avoid confusion.

<title>netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_start</title>

I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the
same time.

It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module
inet_diag.

I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem.  We
need to add a reference to the module which the cb-&gt;dump belongs to.

Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo.

Change From v3:
change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and
Eric.

Change From v2:
delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump
and netlink_sock_destruct.

Since (9f00d97 netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create),
linux/netlink.h includes linux/module.h because of the use of THIS_MODULE.

Use linux/export.h instead, as suggested by Stephen Rothwell, which is
significantly smaller and defines THIS_MODULES.

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

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).

Replace netlink_set_nonroot by one new field `flags' in
struct netlink_kernel_cfg that is passed to netlink_kernel_create.

This patch also renames NL_NONROOT_* to NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_* since
now the flags field in nl_table is generic (so we can add more
flags if needed in the future).

Also adjust all callers in the net-next tree to use these flags
instead of netlink_set_nonroot.
