The +recommended protocol which uses such a header is as following: + +msg->seq and msg->ack are used to determine message genealogy. When +someone sends a message, they use a locally unique sequence and random +acknowledge number. The sequence number may be copied into +nlmsghdr->nlmsg_seq too. + +The sequence number is incremented with each message sent. + +If you expect a reply to the message, then the sequence number in the +received message MUST be the same as in the original message, and the +acknowledge number MUST be the same + 1. + +If we receive a message and its sequence number is not equal to one we +are expecting, then it is a new message. If we receive a message and +its sequence number is the same as one we are expecting, but its +acknowledge is not equal to the sequence number in the original +message + 1, then it is a new message. + +Obviously, the protocol header contains the above id. + +The connector allows event notification in the following form: kernel +driver or userspace process can ask connector to notify it when +selected ids will be turned on or off (registered or unregistered its +callback). It is done by sending a special command to the connector +driver (it also registers itself with id={-1, -1}). + +As example of this usage can be found in the cn_test.c module which +uses the connector to request notification and to send messages. + +/*****************************************/ +Reliability. +/*****************************************/ + +Netlink itself is not a reliable protocol. That means that messages can +be lost due to memory pressure or process' receiving queue overflowed, +so caller is warned that it must be prepared. That is why the struct +cn_msg [main connector's message header] contains u32 seq and u32 ack +fields. + +/*****************************************/ +Userspace usage. +/*****************************************/ + +2.6.14 has a new netlink socket implementation, which by default does not +allow people to send data to netlink groups other than 1. +So, if you wish to use a netlink socket (for example using connector) +with a different group number, the userspace application must subscribe to +that group first. It can be achieved by the following pseudocode: + +s = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR); + +l_local.nl_family = AF_NETLINK; +l_local.nl_groups = 12345; +l_local.nl_pid = 0; + +if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&l_local, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nl)) == -1) { + perror("bind"); + close(s); + return -1; +} + +{ + int on = l_local.nl_groups; + setsockopt(s, 270, 1, &on, sizeof(on)); +} + +Where 270 above is SOL_NETLINK, and 1 is a NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP socket +option. To drop a multicast subscription, one should call the above socket +option with the NETLINK_DROP_MEMBERSHIP parameter which is defined as 0. + +2.6.14 netlink code only allows to select a group which is less or equal to +the maximum group number, which is used at netlink_kernel_create() time. +In case of connector it is CN_NETLINK_USERS + 0xf, so if you want to use +group number 12345, you must increment CN_NETLINK_USERS to that number. +Additional 0xf numbers are allocated to be used by non-in-kernel users. + +Due to this limitation, group 0xffffffff does not work now, so one can +not use add/remove connector's group notifications, but as far as I know, +only cn_test.c test module used it. + +Some work in netlink area is still being done, so things can be changed in +2.6.15 timeframe, if it will happen, documentation will be updated for that +kernel. diff --git a/Documentation/connector/ucon.c b/Documentation/connector/ucon.c new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8a4da64e0 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/connector/ucon.c @@ -0,0 +1,250 @@ +/* + * ucon.c + * + * Copyright (c) 2004+ Evgeniy Polyakov + * + * + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify + * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by + * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or + * (at your option) any later version. + * + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
