This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete
years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced
user-space packet queueing mechanism.
This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that
refers to ip_queue. Otherwise, we break compilation.
Several warning has been sent regarding this to the mailing list
in the past month without anyone rising the hand to stop this
with some strong argument.

This patch allows you to pass a data pointer that can be
accessed from the dump callback.
Netfilter is going to use this patch to provide filtered dumps
to user-space. This is specifically interesting in ctnetlink that
may handle lots of conntrack entries. We can save precious
cycles by skipping the conversion to TLV format of conntrack
entries that are not interesting for user-space.
More specifically, ctnetlink will include one operation to allow
to filter the dumping of conntrack entries by ctmark values.

Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it
precisely includes sys/socket.h first. The issue is where the
definition of "sa_family_t" comes from.
We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380
Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the
sockaddr_storage type. First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t"
to linux/socket.h that is always defined.
Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as
equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t".
Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t
in user visible datastructures.

Consider the following situation:
* a dump that would show 8 entries, four in the first
round, and four in the second
* between the first and second rounds, 6 entries are
removed
* now the second round will not show any entry, and
even if there is a sequence/generation counter the
application will not know
To solve this problem, add a new flag NLM_F_DUMP_INTR
to the netlink header that indicates the dump wasn't
consistent, this flag can also be set on the MSG_DONE
message that terminates the dump, and as such above
situation can be detected.
To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink
callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs
to use this new functionality. The correct way to do
that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback
is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for
each new message. The core code will also call this
function for the final MSG_DONE message.
To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function
genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header
from the genetlink user header.

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.
Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.

When netlink sockets are used to convey data that is in a namespace
we need a way to select a subset of the listening sockets to deliver
the packet to. For the network namespace we have been doing this
by only transmitting packets in the correct network namespace.
For data belonging to other namespaces netlink_bradcast_filtered
provides a mechanism that allows us to examine the destination
socket and to decide if we should transmit the specified packet
to it.

netlink_set_err() even if NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS is set. However,
that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the

Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can
be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving
ENOBUFS errors.
Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things
to the listener:
a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt().
b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync.
In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example:
a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync
method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a
given buffer size.
b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag
NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as
you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered
are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization).
Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down"
effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion
control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following:
1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the
receiver buffer.
2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0).
3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps
dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down.
4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state
bit 0 is set off), goto step 1.
This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy
load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer.
You can find some results in [1] that show this problem.
[1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/
This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of
netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in
/proc/net/netlink.

This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink
socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.
This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.
