net: rtnetlink: add bulk delete support flag

2022-04-13T11:46:26+00:00

Add a new rtnl flag (RTNL_FLAG_BULK_DEL_SUPPORTED) which is used to
verify that the delete operation allows bulk object deletion. Also emit
a warning if anyone tries to set it for non-delete kind.

net: rtnetlink: add msg kind names

2022-04-13T11:46:25+00:00

Add rtnl kind names instead of using raw values. We'll need to
check for DEL kind later to validate bulk flag support.

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.
