So, it would be desirable to actually detect and report failures of netlink operations. While working on that, I discovered that there are a number of other issues ranging from very small to medium sized with the way we use netlink. This series addresses many of them. Link: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=60 Link: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=67 This series was tested as based on the pending patches adding C11 support, though I believe it trivially rebases onto current main. Changes since v1: * Assorted minor fixes based on Stefano's review * Rebased on C11 branch David Gibson (17): netlink: Split up functionality of nl_link() netlink: Split nl_addr() into separate operation functions netlink: Split nl_route() into separate operation functions netlink: Use struct in_addr for IPv4 addresses, not bare uint32_t netlink: Explicitly pass netlink sockets to operations netlink: Make nl_*_dup() use a separate datagram for each request netlink: Start sequence number from 1 instead of 0 netlink: Treat send() or recv() errors as fatal netlink: Fill in netlink header fields from nl_req() netlink: Add nl_do() helper for simple operations with error checking netlink: Clearer reasoning about the netlink response buffer size netlink: Split nl_req() to allow processing multiple response datagrams netlink: Add nl_foreach_oftype to filter response message types netlink: Propagate errors for "set" operations netlink: Always process all responses to a netlink request netlink: Propagate errors for "dump" operations netlink: Propagate errors for "dup" operations conf.c | 66 ++++- netlink.c | 843 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- netlink.h | 27 +- pasta.c | 75 +++-- 4 files changed, 658 insertions(+), 353 deletions(-) -- 2.41.0
