[PATCH net-next 0/9] netlink: align attributes when needed (patchset #1)

[PATCH net-next 0/9] netlink: align attributes when needed (patchset #1)

[Nicolas Dichtel]

This is the continuation of the work done to align netlink attributes
when these attributes contain some 64-bit fields.

David, if the third patch is too big (or maybe the series), I can split it.
Just tell me what you prefer.

But _why_ is it needed ?

nla_put() has no alignment assumptions, it simply copies 8 bytes.

Seems this is going too far.

if this is really needed, then nla_put_u64/be64/etc need to be changed also,
or? The function nla_put_u64 is the same like nla_put_le64 but with __le64
type, so sparse will not complain about that.

Okay, I found PATCH 3/9 do it for be64, but what's about u64?

It's also planned. I will send several "small" series to ease integration.

[PATCH net-next 3/9] libnl: nla_put_be64(): align on a 64-bit area

[Nicolas Dichtel]

nla_data() is now aligned on a 64-bit area.

A temporary version (nla_put_be64_32bit()) is added for nla_put_net64().
This function is removed in the next patch.

[PATCH net-next 9/9] taskstats: use the libnl API to align nlattr on 64-bit

[Nicolas Dichtel]

Goal of this patch is to use the new libnl API to align netlink attribute
when needed.
The layout of the netlink message will be a bit different after the patch,
because the padattr (TASKSTATS_TYPE_STATS) will be inside the nested
attribute instead of before it.

Sigh.

I quote David:
"All userspace components using netlink should always ignore attributes
they do not recognize in dumps.

This is one of the most basic principles of netlink"

Do you have some pointers so I can made some tests?

Please try

iotop uses it as well. My concern is ABI breakage of user space.

My test is ok here, I didn't see a problem.
Code review (from here http://repo.or.cz/w/iotop.git) is also ok.

[PATCH net-next] taskstats: fix nl parsing in accounting/getdelays.c

[Nicolas Dichtel]

The type TASKSTATS_TYPE_NULL should always be ignored.

When jumping to the next attribute, only the length of the current
attribute should be added, not the length of all nested attributes.
This last bug was not visible before commit 80df554275c2, because the
kernel didn't put more than two nested attributes.

The "ABI" is that unrecognized attributes must be silently ignored by
userspace.
