* netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg2015-01-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

* netlink: eliminate nl_sk_hash_lockYing Xue2015-01-131-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() can guarantee the process of search and insertion is atomic, it's safe to eliminate the nl_sk_hash_lock. After this, object insertion or removal will be protected with per bucket lock on write side while object lookup is guarded with rcu read lock on read side.

* rhashtable: Convert bucket iterators to take table and indexThomas Graf2015-01-031-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is in preparation to introduce per bucket spinlocks. It extends all iterator macros to take the bucket table and bucket index. It also introduces a new rht_dereference_bucket() to handle protected accesses to buckets. It introduces a barrier() to the RCU iterators to the prevent the compiler from caching the first element. The lockdep verifier is introduced as stub which always succeeds and properly implement in the next patch when the locks are introduced.

* netlink: hold nl_sock_hash_lock during diag dumpThomas Graf2014-08-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although RCU protection would be possible during diag dump, doing so allows for concurrent table mutations which can render the in-table offset between individual Netlink messages invalid and thus cause legitimate sockets to be skipped in the dump. Since the diag dump is relatively low volume and consistency is more important than performance, the table mutex is held during dump.

* netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash tableThomas Graf2014-08-021-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of RCU relieves the lock contention. Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the lookup. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%. Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers during expansion and shrinking.

* netlink: Diag core and basic socket info dumping (v2)Andrey Vagin2013-03-211-0/+188
The netlink_diag can be built as a module, just like it's done in unix sockets. The core dumping message carries the basic info about netlink sockets: family, type and protocol, portis, dst_group, dst_portid, state. Groups can be received as an optional parameter NETLINK_DIAG_GROUPS. Netlink sockets cab be filtered by protocols. The socket inode number and cookie is reserved for future per-socket info retrieving. The per-protocol filtering is also reserved for future by requiring the sdiag_protocol to be zero. The file /proc/net/netlink doesn't provide enough information for dumping netlink sockets. It doesn't provide dst_group, dst_portid, groups above 32. v2: fix NETLINK_DIAG_MAX. Now it's equal to the last constant. Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Cc: "David S.
