Netlink is * specified in RFC 3549, "Linux Netlink as an IP Services Protocol". * * Netlink is not suitable for use in physical networks of heterogeneous * machines because host byte order is used throughout. * * This header file defines functions for working with Netlink sockets, which * are Linux-specific. For Netlink protocol definitions, see * netlink-protocol.h. For helper functions for working with Netlink messages, * see netlink.h. * * * Thread-safety * ============= * * Most of the netlink functions are not fully thread-safe: Only a single * thread may use a given nl_sock or nl_dump at one time. The exceptions are: * * - nl_sock_recv() is conditionally thread-safe: it may be called from * different threads with the same nl_sock, but each caller must provide * an independent receive buffer. * * - nl_dump_next() is conditionally thread-safe: it may be called from * different threads with the same nl_dump, but each caller must provide * independent buffers. */ #include #include #include #include "ofpbuf.h" #include "ovs-atomic.h" struct nl_sock; #ifndef HAVE_NETLINK #error "netlink-socket.h is only for hosts that support Netlink sockets" #endif /* Netlink sockets. */ int nl_sock_create(int protocol, struct nl_sock **); int nl_sock_clone(const struct nl_sock *, struct nl_sock **); void nl_sock_destroy(struct nl_sock *); int nl_sock_join_mcgroup(struct nl_sock *, unsigned int multicast_group); int nl_sock_leave_mcgroup(struct nl_sock *, unsigned int multicast_group); int nl_sock_send(struct nl_sock *, const struct ofpbuf *, bool wait); int nl_sock_send_seq(struct nl_sock *, const struct ofpbuf *, uint32_t nlmsg_seq, bool wait); int nl_sock_recv(struct nl_sock *, struct ofpbuf *, bool wait); int nl_sock_transact(struct nl_sock *, const struct ofpbuf *request, struct ofpbuf **replyp); int nl_sock_drain(struct nl_sock *); void nl_sock_wait(const struct nl_sock *, short int events); int nl_sock_fd(const struct nl_sock *); uint32_t nl_sock_pid(const struct nl_sock *); /* Batching transactions. */ struct nl_transaction { /* Filled in by client. */ struct ofpbuf *request; /* Request to send. */ /* The client must initialize 'reply' to one of: * * - NULL, if it does not care to examine the reply. * * - Otherwise, to an ofpbuf with a memory allocation of at least * NLMSG_HDRLEN bytes. */ struct ofpbuf *reply; /* Reply (empty if reply was an error code). */ int error; /* Positive errno value, 0 if no error. */ }; void nl_sock_transact_multiple(struct nl_sock *, struct nl_transaction **, size_t n); /* Transactions without an allocated socket. */ int nl_transact(int protocol, const struct ofpbuf *request, struct ofpbuf **replyp); void nl_transact_multiple(int protocol, struct nl_transaction **, size_t n); /* Table dumping. */ #define NL_DUMP_BUFSIZE 4096 struct nl_dump { struct nl_sock *sock; /* Socket being dumped. */ uint32_t nl_seq; /* Expected nlmsg_seq for replies. */ atomic_uint status; /* Low bit set if we read final message. * Other bits hold an errno (0 for success). */ struct seq *status_seq; /* Tracks changes to the above 'status'. */ }; void nl_dump_start(struct nl_dump *, int protocol, const struct ofpbuf *request); bool nl_dump_next(struct nl_dump *, struct ofpbuf *reply, struct ofpbuf *buf); int nl_dump_done(struct nl_dump *); /* Miscellaneous */ int nl_lookup_genl_family(const char *name, int *number); int nl_lookup_genl_mcgroup(const char *family_name, const char *group_name, unsigned int *multicast_group); #endif /* netlink-socket.h */
