88 | |||
89 | Each message is at most 4k in size, so if number of master devices | ||

122 | Command status replies. | ||
123 | ====================== | ||
124 | |||
125 | Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd | ||
126 | structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same | ||
127 | as request message except that length parameters do not account for data | ||
128 | requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain | ||
129 | data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size | ||
130 | of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum | ||
131 | of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd). | ||
132 | If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have | ||
133 | w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg | ||
134 | structires. | ||
135 | |||
136 | w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value | ||
137 | (EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success. | ||
138 | |||
139 | All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the | ||
140 | request message (except lengths as described above). | ||
141 | |||
142 | Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the | ||
143 | w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures, | ||
144 | reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg. | ||
145 | |||
146 | All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg, | ||
147 | even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing. | ||
