2009-07-12genetlink: make netns awareJohannes Berg
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No generic netlink families except for the controller family are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by one and then set the family->netnsok member to true. A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace, for example when it applies to an object that lives in that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns() to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects that do not have an associated netns). The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast the message in just init_net, which is currently correct for all generic netlink families since they only work in init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all net namespaces because they do not care about the netns at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns aware in some way. After this patch families can easily decide whether or not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many genl families us it for objects not related to networking and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but that will have to be done on a per family basis. Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart problem where network namespaces could be used, genl families and multicast groups are numbered globally and I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces for those families that do not care about netns.

2009-05-21tipc: Use genl_register_family_with_ops()Michał Mirosław
Use genl_register_family_with_ops() instead of a copy. This also changes netlink related variable names to be kernel-wide unique for consistency with other users. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-21tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privilegesAllan Stephens
This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

2007-06-23[TIPC]: Fix infinite loop in netlink handlerFlorian Westphal
The tipc netlink config handler uses the nlmsg_pid from the request header as destination for its reply. If the application initialized nlmsg_pid to 0, the reply is looped back to the kernel, causing hangup. Fix: use nlmsg_pid of the skb that triggered the request.

2006-01-13[PATCH] genetlink: don't touch module ref countPer Liden
Increasing the module ref count at registration will block the module from ever being unloaded. In fact, genetlink should not care about the owner at all. This patch removes the owner field from the struct registered with genetlink.
