[DECNET] address: Convert to new netlink interface

2006-12-03T05:30:30+00:00

Extends the netlink interface to support the __le16 type and
converts address addition, deletion and, dumping to use the
new netlink interface.

Fixes multiple occasions of possible illegal memory references
due to not validated netlink attributes.

[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.

[NETLINK]: add nla_for_each_nested() to the interface list

2006-09-25T22:53:37+00:00

At the top of include/net/netlink.h is a list of Netlink interfaces, however,
the nla_for_each_nested() macro was not listed.  This patch adds this interface
to the list at the top of the header file.

[NETLINK]: Improve string attribute validation

2006-09-22T22:18:24+00:00

Introduces a new attribute type NLA_NUL_STRING to support NUL
terminated strings. Attributes of this kind require to carry
a terminating NUL within the maximum specified in the policy.

The `old' NLA_STRING which is not required to be NUL terminated
is extended to provide means to specify a maximum length of the
string.

Aims at easing the pain with using nla_strlcpy() on temporary
buffers.

[NETLINK]: remove third bogus argument from NLA_PUT_FLAG

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

This patch removes the 'value' argument from NLA_PUT_FLAG which is
unused anyway. The documentation comment was already correct so it
doesn't need an update :)

[IPv4]: FIB configuration using struct fib_config

2006-09-22T21:55:04+00:00

Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta
prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages
for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl.

A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through
nexthop configuration arrays.

A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink
information to be used for notifications later on.

[RTNETLINK]: Add rtnetlink notification interface

2006-09-22T21:54:50+00:00

Adds rtnl_notify() to send rtnetlink notification messages and
rtnl_set_sk_err() to report notification errors as socket
errors in order to indicate the need of a resync due to loss
of events.

nlmsg_report() is added to properly document the meaning of
NLM_F_ECHO.
