3efb40c2c6 genetlink: export genl_unregister_mc_group()
Add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to genl_unregister_mc_group(), to allow
unregistering groups on the run. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is not used as
the rest of the functions exported by this module (eg:
genl_register_mc_group) are also not _GPL().

Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is
no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not
being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for
external consumption.

This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc
groups.

ea5693ccc5 netlink: allow empty nested attributes
validate_nla() currently doesn't allow empty nested attributes. This
makes userspace code unnecessarily complicated when starting and ending
the nested attribute is done by generic upper level code and the inner
attributes are dumped by a module.

Add a special case to accept empty nested attributes. When the nested
attribute is non empty, the same checks as before are performed.

3755810ceb net: Make sure BHs are disabled in sock_prot_inuse_add()
There is still a call to sock_prot_inuse_add() in af_netlink
while in a preemptable section. Add explicit BH disable around
this call.

6f756a8c36 net: Make sure BHs are disabled in sock_prot_inuse_add()
The rule of calling sock_prot_inuse_add() is that BHs must
be disabled.  Some new calls were added where this was not
true and this tiggers warnings as reported by Ilpo.

Fix this by adding explicit BH disabling around those call sites.

547b792cac net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ON
Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.

6d1a3fb567 netlink: genl: fix circular locking
genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
families:

- dump start:
genl_rcv()            : take genl_mutex
genl_rcv_msg()        : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
netlink_dump_start(),
netlink_dump()        : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
                        second time

- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex

Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
seperate fix for this.
