We've had several bugs in the past that were quite tricky to debug,
but would have been much easier if we'd known that a netlink operation
had failed.  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.

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
