* | connector: get test code working by defaultMike Frysinger2009-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The connector test code currently does not work out of the box. This is because it uses a connector id that is above the registered limit. So rather than force people to stumble through undocumented code wondering why it isn't working, have the test code use one of the "private" ids by default. While I'm in here, clean up the code (kernel and user app) so that it's a bit more user friendly and verbose in significant things that it does. Terse test code wastes people time as they simply enumerate it with all the same kind of debug messages to get a better feel of what code is running at any time.

* | connector: make callback argument type explicitMike Frysinger2009-07-17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* Documentation/connector/cn_test.c: don't use gfp_any()Andrew Morton2009-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | cn_test_timer_func() is a timer handler and can never use GFP_KERNEL - there's no point in using gfp_any() here. Also, use setup_timer(). Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: Add netlink connector.Evgeniy Polyakov2005-09-11
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.
