• 8f4c1f9b0   [NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attribute ... Browse Code »

  This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within
  the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced.

  The byte-order flag is yet unused, it's intended use is to
  allow automatic byte order convertions for all atomic types.

• d30045a0b   [NETLINK]: introduce NLA_BINARY type ... Browse Code »

  This patch introduces a new NLA_BINARY attribute policy type with the
  verification of simply checking the maximum length of the payload.

  It also fixes a small typo in the example.

• a5531a5d8   [NETLINK]: Improve string attribute validation ... Browse Code »

  Introduces a new attribute type NLA_NUL_STRING to support NUL
  terminated strings. Attributes of this kind require to carry
  a terminating NUL within the maximum specified in the policy.

  The `old' NLA_STRING which is not required to be NUL terminated
  is extended to provide means to specify a maximum length of the
  string.

  Aims at easing the pain with using nla_strlcpy() on temporary
  buffers.

• bfa83a9e0   [NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interface ... Browse Code »

  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.
