Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:
1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.
With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:
1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
-ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.
In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.
This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.
BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

Add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to genl_unregister_mc_group(), to allow
unregistering groups on the run. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is not used as
the rest of the functions exported by this module (eg:
genl_register_mc_group) are also not _GPL().
Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is
no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not
being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for
external consumption.
This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc

genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
families:
- dump start:
genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex
genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
netlink_dump_start(),
netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
second time
- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex
Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a

The comment about "race free view of the set of network
namespaces" was a bit hasty. Look (there even can be only
one CPU, as discovered by Alexey Dobriyan and Denis Lunev):
put_net()
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&net->refcnt))
/* true */
__put_net(net);
queue_work(...);
/*
* note: the net now has refcnt 0, but still in
* the global list of net namespaces
*/
== re-schedule ==
register_pernet_subsys(&some_ops);
register_pernet_operations(&some_ops);
(*some_ops)->init(net);
/*
* we call netlink_kernel_create() here
* in some places
*/
netlink_kernel_create();
sk_alloc();
get_net(net); /* refcnt = 1 */
/*
* now we drop the net refcount not to
* block the net namespace exit in the
* future (or this can be done on the
* error path)
*/
put_net(sk->sk_net);
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&...))
/*
* true. BOOOM! The net is
* scheduled for release twice
*/
When thinking on this problem, I decided, that getting and
putting the net in init callback is wrong. If some init
callback needs to have a refcount-less reference on the struct
net, _it_ has to be careful himself, rather than relying on
the infrastructure to handle this correctly.
In case of netlink_kernel_create(), the problem is that the
sk_alloc() gets the given namespace, but passing the info
that we don't want to get it inside this call is too heavy.
Instead, I propose to crate the socket inside an init_net
namespace and then re-attach it to the desired one right
after the socket is created.
After doing this, we also have to be careful on error paths
not to drop the reference on the namespace, we didn't get
the one on.

During network namespace stop process kernel side netlink sockets
belonging to a namespace should be closed. They should not prevent
namespace to stop, so they do not increment namespace usage
counter. Though this counter will be put during last sock_put.
The raplacement of the correct netns for init_ns solves the problem
only partial as socket to be stoped until proper stop is a valid
netlink kernel socket and can be looked up by the user processes. This
is not a problem until it resides in initial namespace (no processes
inside this net), but this is not true for init_net.
So, hold the referrence for a socket, remove it from lookup tables and
only after that change namespace and perform a last put.

It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section.
We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys.
Which doesn't happen until module unload.
So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways.
- We discard it before we call the exit method it points to.
- Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding
it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked
list and does horrible things for linked insert.
So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.
The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.
Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.
This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.
Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.
EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.
