[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link: allow specifying initial device address

2007-07-12T02:45:36Z

Drivers need to validate the initial addresses in their netlink attribute validation function or manually reject them if they can't support this. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link API simplification

2007-07-12T02:45:33Z

All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function. While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that takes the rtnl itself completely useless. Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and change the existing users to take advantage of that.

[RTNETLINK]: Add nested compat attribute

2007-07-11T05:15:39Z

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a backwards compatible way. The attribute looks like this: struct { [ compat contents ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = total size, .rta_type = type, } rta; struct old_structure struct; [ nested top-level attribute ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = nest size, .rta_type = type, } nest_attr; [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ] struct rtattr { .rta_len = private attribute len, .rta_type = private attribute typ, } nested_attr; struct nested_data data; }; Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and ignore the rest.

[RTNETLINK]: Split up rtnl_setlink

2007-07-11T05:14:16Z

Split up rtnl_setlink into a function performing validation and a function performing the actual changes. This allows to share the modifcation logic with rtnl_newlink, which is introduced by the next patch. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: ifindex 0 does not exist

2007-06-07T20:40:11Z

ifindex == 0 does not exist and implies we should do a lookup by name if one was given. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
