2007-03-25	[NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage	Thomas Graf	1	-0/+1
	Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy. The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all" or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute, but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a validation error. Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the length of an address. Report an error if address length is non zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on availability of attribute.

2006-12-02	[NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible	Thomas Graf	1	-0/+1
	Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new() instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly. Replaces error handling of message construction functions when constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

2006-12-02	[NET] rules: Share common attribute validation policy	Thomas Graf	1	-0/+7
	Move the attribute policy for the non-specific attributes into net/fib_rules.h and include it in the respective protocols. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02	[NET] rules: Protocol independant mark selector	Thomas Graf	1	-0/+2
	Move mark selector currently implemented per protocol into the protocol independant part. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-22	[NET]: Introduce RTA_TABLE/FRA_TABLE attributes	Patrick McHardy	1	-0/+7
	Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them need to use RTA_TABLE. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
