The current proc connector code has the foll. bugs - if there are more
than one listeners for the proc connector messages, and one of them
deregisters for listening using PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE, they will still get
all proc connector messages, as long as there is another listener.
Another issue is if one client calls PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN, and another one
calls PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE, then both will end up not getting any messages.
This patch adds filtering and drops packet if client has sent
PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE. This data is stored in the client socket's
sk_user_data. In addition, we only increment or decrement
proc_event_num_listeners once per client. This fixes the above issues.
cn_release is the release function added for NETLINK_CONNECTOR. It uses
the newly added netlink_release function added to netlink_sock. It will
free sk_user_data.

The connector driver never modifies any cb_id passed to it, so add a const
qualifier to those arguments so callers can declare their struct cb_id as a
constant object.
Fixes build warnings like these when passing a constant struct cb_id:

As it has some function definitions, move them to connector.h.
The remaining conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable cn_callback_entry.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

Commits 01a16b21 (netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms)
and c53fa1ed (netlink: kill loginuid/sessionid/sid members from struct
netlink_skb_parms) removed some members from struct netlink_skb_parms
that depend on the current context, all netlink users are now required
to do synchronous message processing.
connector however queues received messages and processes them in a work
queue, which is not valid anymore. This patch converts connector to do
synchronous message processing by invoking the registered callback handler
directly from the netlink receive function.
In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locks held, a
reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, the reference
is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device's queue_list
and released after the callback handler has been invoked.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.
Kudos for Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>, who found a bug in the
code.

The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere. This doesn't make
much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
pointer type. So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
pointer.

This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
requests to userspace for processing.
The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
communication.
The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace
daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations
with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.
(Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
done, not the second.)

+/*

+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/name : storage
+ */

The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback. If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.
This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.
But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.
So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once. The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.
The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.
Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.
Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.
The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.
Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.
This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.
Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.
EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to
eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
direction.
Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register
callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
socket();
bind();
send();
recv();
But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
easier way:
int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
struct cb_id
{
__u32 idx;
__u32 val;
};
idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a
callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
will be received by connector core.
Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
users.
Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.
