netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create

2012-09-08T22:46:30+00:00

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).

Suggested by David S. Miller.

netlink: kill netlink_set_nonroot

2012-09-08T22:45:27+00:00

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.

netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create

2012-06-29T23:46:02+00:00

This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

Merge tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-03-24T17:24:31+00:00

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
  need it.

  These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously.  We now have
  things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
  subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible.  What is
  remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
  single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.

  Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
  independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).

* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)

2012-03-08T20:56:40+00:00

The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are
ordered.

Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock,
than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code
contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event.

This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum.

v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex
v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit

Thanks for Kay for the comments.

lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible

2012-03-07T20:04:04+00:00

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

driver-core: skip uevent generation when nobody is listening

2011-12-10T00:23:50+00:00

Most network namespaces unlikely have listeners to uevents, and should
benefit from skipping all the string copies.

kobj_uevent: Ignore if some listeners cannot handle message

2011-08-23T01:31:24+00:00

kobject_uevent() uses a multicast socket and should ignore
if one of listeners cannot handle messages or nobody is
listening at all.

Easily reproducible when a process in system is cloned
with CLONE_NEWNET flag.

kobject: free memory if netlink_kernel_create() fails

2010-06-04T20:27:52+00:00

There is a kfree(ue_sk) missing on the error path if
netlink_kernel_create() fails.
