[GENL]: Add genlmsg_put_reply() to simplify building reply headers

2006-12-03T05:22:42+00:00

By modyfing genlmsg_put() to take a genl_family and by adding
genlmsg_put_reply() the process of constructing the netlink
and generic netlink headers is simplified.

address the source of the original request.

[GENL]: Provide more information to userspace about registered genl families

2006-09-22T22:18:51+00:00

Additionaly exports the following information when providing
the list of registered generic netlink families:
  - protocol version
  - header size
  - maximum number of attributes
  - list of available operations including
      - id
      - flags
      - avaiability of policy and doit/dumpit function

libnl HEAD provides a utility to read this new information:

	0x0010 nlctrl version 1
	    hdrsize 0 maxattr 6
	      op GETFAMILY (0x03) [POLICY,DOIT,DUMPIT]
	0x0011 NLBL_MGMT version 1
	    hdrsize 0 maxattr 0
	      op unknown (0x02) [DOIT]
	      op unknown (0x03) [DOIT]

[NETLINK]: Add notification message sending interface

2006-09-22T21:54:49+00:00

Adds nlmsg_notify() implementing proper notification logic. The
message is multicasted to all listeners in the group. The
applications the requests orignates from can request a unicast
back report in which case said socket will be excluded from the
multicast to avoid duplicated notifications.

nlmsg_multicast() is extended to take allocation flags to
allow notification in atomic contexts.
