2011-03-30connector: convert to synchronous netlink message processingPatrick McHardy
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.

2010-10-24connector: remove lazy workqueue creationTejun Heo
Commit 1a5645bc (connector: create connector workqueue only while needed once) implements lazy workqueue creation for connector workqueue. With cmwq now in place, lazy workqueue creation doesn't make much sense while adding a lot of complexity. Remove it and allocate an ordered workqueue during initialization. This also removes a call to flush_scheduled_work() which is deprecated and scheduled to be removed.

2009-07-17connector: make callback argument type explicitMike Frysinger
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. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-02-02connector: create connector workqueue only while needed onceFrederic Weisbecker
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. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@ioremap.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-03-23connector: convert to single-threaded workqueueEvgeniy Polyakov
From: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> We don't need one cqueue thread for each CPU. cqueue is used for receiving userspace datagrams, which are very rare and thus will happily live with a single queue.

2008-01-28[CONNECTOR]: Cleanup struct cn_callback_entryLi Zefan
- 'cb' is a fake struct member. In a previous patch struct cn_callback was renamed to cn_callback_id, so 'cb' should have been deleted at that time. - 'nls' isn't used and is redundant, we can retrieve this data through cn_callback_entry.pdev->nls. - 'seq' and 'group' should be u32, as they are declared to be u32 in other places.

2005-09-11[NET]: Add netlink connector.Evgeniy Polyakov
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.
