Linux内核由4.4升级到5.4做的一些改变（二）——genetlink

2.Generic Netlink

2.1 注册generic netlink family时取消了with_ops的扩展

因此在注册时需要先给genl_family赋值，再进行注册。

文件名 include/net/genetlink.h
4.4

static inline int genl_register_family(struct genl_family *family)
{
	family->module = THIS_MODULE;

2.2 对GENL_ID_GENERATE进行了修改

文件名 include/linux/genetlink.h
4.4

#define NLMSG_MIN_TYPE		0x10	/* < 0x10: reserved control messages */
#define GENL_MIN_ID	NLMSG_MIN_TYPE
#define GENL_MAX_ID	1023

#define GENL_ID_GENERATE	0
#define GENL_ID_CTRL		NLMSG_MIN_TYPE
#define GENL_ID_VFS_DQUOT	(NLMSG_MIN_TYPE + 1)
#define GENL_ID_PMCRAID		(NLMSG_MIN_TYPE + 2)

5.4

#define NLMSG_MIN_TYPE		0x10	/* < 0x10: reserved control messages */
#define GENL_MIN_ID	NLMSG_MIN_TYPE
#define GENL_MAX_ID	1023

#define GENL_ID_CTRL		NLMSG_MIN_TYPE
#define GENL_ID_VFS_DQUOT	(NLMSG_MIN_TYPE + 1)
#define GENL_ID_PMCRAID		(NLMSG_MIN_TYPE + 2)
/* must be last reserved + 1 */
#define GENL_START_ALLOC	(NLMSG_MIN_TYPE + 3)

2.3 genlmsg_parse函数进行了修改

文件名 include/linux/genetlink.h
参数中增加了extack。
4.4

static inline int genlmsg_parse(const struct nlmsghdr *nlh,
				const struct genl_family *family,
				struct nlattr *tb[], int maxtype,
				const struct nla_policy *policy)
{
	return nlmsg_parse(nlh, family->hdrsize + GENL_HDRLEN, tb, maxtype,
			   policy);
}

5.4

static inline int genlmsg_parse(const struct nlmsghdr *nlh,
				const struct genl_family *family,
				struct nlattr *tb[], int maxtype,
				const struct nla_policy *policy,
				struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
{
	return __nlmsg_parse(nlh, family->hdrsize + GENL_HDRLEN, tb, maxtype,
			     policy, NL_VALIDATE_STRICT, extack);
}

extack定义在genl_info中，看起来像是返回错误信息的。
4.4

struct genl_info {
	u32			snd_seq;
	u32			snd_portid;
	struct nlmsghdr *	nlhdr;
	struct genlmsghdr *	genlhdr;
	void *			userhdr;
	struct nlattr **	attrs;
	possible_net_t		_net;
	void *			user_ptr[2];
	struct sock *		dst_sk;
};

5.4

struct genl_info {
	u32			snd_seq;
	u32			snd_portid;
	struct nlmsghdr *	nlhdr;
	struct genlmsghdr *	genlhdr;
	void *			userhdr;
	struct nlattr **	attrs;
	possible_net_t		_net;
	void *			user_ptr[2];
	struct netlink_ext_ack *extack;	//这里！
};
/**

 *	%NL_SET_ERR_MSG
 * @bad_attr: attribute with error

 */
struct netlink_ext_ack {
	const char *_msg;
	const struct nlattr *bad_attr;
	u8 cookie[NETLINK_MAX_COOKIE_LEN];
	u8 cookie_len;
};
