[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interface Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible 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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all.

netlink: validate NLA_MSECS length L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this: policy: [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, }, code: if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]) cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]); As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough and might overrun the message. Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the size properly.

[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interface Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without casting. While at it, constify a data array.

[NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attribute This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced.

netlink: don't compare the nul-termination in nla_strcmp nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly including the nul-termination in the comparison. int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str) { int len = strlen(str) + 1; ... d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len); However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the nul-termination. Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.

The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

nlattr: Fix build error with NET off We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on NET because the target object is sk_buff. This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET. Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work. Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
