net: add extack arg for link ops

2021-08-04T09:01:26+00:00

Pass extack arg to validate_linkmsg and validate_link_af callbacks.
If a netlink attribute has a reject_message, use the extended ack
mechanism to carry the message back to user space.

rtnetlink: add alloc() method to rtnl_link_ops

2021-06-12T20:16:45+00:00

In order to make rtnetlink ops that can create different
kinds of devices, like what we want to add to the WWAN
framework, the priv_size and setup parameters aren't quite
sufficient. Make this easier to manage by allowing ops to
allocate their own netdev via an @alloc method that gets
the tb netlink data.

ipv6: report errors for iftoken via netlink extack

2021-04-08T20:52:36+00:00

Setting iftoken can fail for several different reasons but there
and there was no report to user as to the cause. Add netlink
extended errors to the processing of the request.

This requires adding additional argument through rtnl_af_ops
set_link_af callback.

can: dev: Move device back to init netns on owning netns delete

2021-03-16T07:40:04+00:00

When a non-initial netns is destroyed, the usual policy is to delete
all virtual network interfaces contained, but move physical interfaces
back to the initial netns. This keeps the physical interface visible
on the system.

CAN devices are somewhat special, as they define rtnl_link_ops even
if they are physical devices. If a CAN interface is moved into a
non-initial netns, destroying that netns lets the interface vanish
instead of moving it back to the initial netns. default_device_exit()
skips CAN interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set. Reproducer:

  ip netns add foo
  ip link set can0 netns foo
  ip netns delete foo

To properly restore physical CAN devices to the initial netns on owning
netns exit, introduce a flag on rtnl_link_ops that can be set by drivers.
For CAN devices setting this flag, default_device_exit() considers them
non-virtual, applying the usual namespace move.

The issue was introduced in the commit mentioned below, as at that time
CAN devices did not have a dellink() operation.

rtnetlink: add rtnl_get_net_ns_capable()

2018-09-06T05:27:11+00:00

get_target_net() will be used in follow-up patches in ipv{4,6} codepaths to
retrieve network namespaces based on network namespace identifiers. So
remove the static declaration and export in the rtnetlink header. Also,
rename it to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() to make it obvious what this
function is doing.
Export rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() so it can be used when ipv6 is built as
a module.

rtnetlink: Remove VLA usage

2018-06-01T02:48:46+00:00

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
allocates the maximum size expected for all possible types and adds
sanity-checks at both registration and usage to make sure nothing gets
out of sync. This matches the proposed VLA solution for nfnetlink[2]. The
values chosen here were based on finding assignments for .maxtype and
.slave_maxtype and manually counting the enums:

slave_maxtype (max 33):
	IFLA_BRPORT_MAX     33
	IFLA_BOND_SLAVE_MAX  9

maxtype (max 45):
	IFLA_BOND_MAX       28
	IFLA_BR_MAX         45
	__IFLA_CAIF_HSI_MAX  8
	IFLA_CAIF_MAX        4
	IFLA_CAN_MAX        16
	IFLA_GENEVE_MAX     12
	IFLA_GRE_MAX        25
	IFLA_GTP_MAX         5
	IFLA_HSR_MAX         7
	IFLA_IPOIB_MAX       4
	IFLA_IPTUN_MAX      21
	IFLA_IPVLAN_MAX      3
	IFLA_MACSEC_MAX     15
	IFLA_MACVLAN_MAX     7
	IFLA_PPP_MAX         2
	__IFLA_RMNET_MAX     4
	IFLA_VLAN_MAX        6
	IFLA_VRF_MAX         2
	IFLA_VTI_MAX         7
	IFLA_VXLAN_MAX      28
	VETH_INFO_MAX        2
	VXCAN_INFO_MAX       2

This additionally changes maxtype and slave_maxtype fields to unsigned,
since they're only ever using positive values.

rtnl_register or rtnl_register_module.

Also, rtnl_register() will now print an error if memory allocation
failed rather than panic the kernel.

rtnetlink: get reference on module before invoking handlers

Add yet another rtnl_register function.  It will be used by modules
that can be removed.

The passed module struct is used to prevent module unload while
a netlink dump is in progress or when a DOIT_UNLOCKED doit callback
is called.
