 25  * \section attr_sec Netlink Attributes
 26  * Netlink attributes allow for data chunks of arbitary length to be
 27  * attached to a netlink message. Each attribute is encoded with a
 28  * type and length field, both 16 bits, stored in the attribute header
 29  * preceding the attribute data. The main advantage of using attributes
 30  * over packing everything into the family header is that the interface
 31  * stays extendable as new attributes can supersede old attributes while
 32  * remaining backwards compatible. Also attributes can be defined optional
 33  * thus avoiding the transmission of unnecessary empty data blocks.
 34  * Special nested attributes allow for more complex data structures to
 35  * be transmitted, e.g. trees, lists, etc.
 36  *
 37  * While not required, netlink attributes typically follow the family
 38  * header of a netlink message and must be properly aligned to NLA_ALIGNTO:
 39  * @code
 40  *   +----------------+- - -+---------------+- - -+------------+- - -+
 41  *   | Netlink Header | Pad | Family Header | Pad | Attributes | Pad |
 42  *   +----------------+- - -+---------------+- - -+------------+- - -+
 43  * @endcode
 44  *
 45  * The actual attributes are chained together each separately aligned to
 46  * NLA_ALIGNTO. The position of an attribute is defined based on the
 47  * length field of the preceding attributes:
 48  * @code
 49  *   +-------------+- - -+-------------+- - -+------
 50  *   | Attribute 1 | Pad | Attribute 2 | Pad | ...
 51  *   +-------------+- - -+-------------+- - -+------
 52  *   nla_next(attr1)------^
 53  * @endcode
 54  *
 55  * The attribute itself consists of the attribute header followed by
 56  * the actual payload also aligned to NLA_ALIGNTO. The function nla_data()
 57  * returns a pointer to the start of the payload while nla_len() returns
 58  * the length of the payload in bytes.
 59  *
 60  * \b Note: Be aware, NLA_ALIGNTO equals to 4 bytes, therefore it is not
 61  * safe to dereference any 64 bit data types directly.
 62  *
 63  * @code
 64  *    <----------- nla_total_size(payload) ----------->
 65  *    <-------- nla_attr_size(payload) --------->
 66  *   +------------------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - +- - -+
 67  *   | Attribute Header | Pad |     Payload      | Pad |
 68  *   +------------------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - +- - -+

 73  * @subsection attr_datatypes Attribute Data Types
 74  * A number of basic data types are supported to simplify access and
 75  * validation of netlink attributes. This data type information is
 76  * not encoded in the attribute, both the kernel and userspace part
 77  * are required to share this information on their own.
 78  *
 79  * One of the major advantages of these basic types is the automatic
 80  * validation of each attribute based on an attribute policy. The
 81  * validation covers most of the checks required to safely use
 82  * attributes and thus keeps the individual sanity check to a minimum.
 83  *
 84  * Never access attribute payload without ensuring basic validation
 85  * first, attributes may:
 86  * - not be present even though required
 87  * - contain less actual payload than expected
 88  * - fake a attribute length which exceeds the end of the message
 89  * - contain unterminated character strings
 90  *
 91  * Policies are defined as array of the struct nla_policy. The array is
 92  * indexed with the attribute type, therefore the array must be sized
 93  * accordingly.
 94  * @code
 95  * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 96  *      [ATTR_FOO] = { .type = ..., .minlen = ..., .maxlen = ... },
 97  * };
 98  *
 99  * err = nla_validate(attrs, attrlen, ATTR_MAX, &my_policy);
100  * @endcode
101  *
102  * Some basic validations are performed on every attribute, regardless of type.
103  * - If the attribute type exceeds the maximum attribute type specified or
104  *   the attribute type is lesser-or-equal than zero, the attribute will
105  *   be silently ignored.
106  * - If the payload length falls below the \a minlen value the attribute
107  *   will be rejected.
108  * - If \a maxlen is non-zero and the payload length exceeds the \a maxlen
109  *   value the attribute will be rejected.
110  *
111  *
112  * @par Unspecific Attribute (NLA_UNSPEC)
113  * This is the standard type if no type is specified. It is used for
114  * binary data of arbitary length. Typically this attribute carries
115  * a binary structure or a stream of bytes.
116  * @par
117  * @code
118  * // In this example, we will assume a binary structure requires to
119  * // be transmitted. The definition of the structure will typically
120  * // go into a header file available to both the kernel and userspace
121  * // side.
122  * //
123  * // Note: Be careful when putting 64 bit data types into a structure.
124  * // The attribute payload is only aligned to 4 bytes, dereferencing
125  * // the member may fail.
126  * struct my_struct {
127  *     int a;
128  *     int b;
129  * };
130  *
131  * // The validation function will not enforce an exact length match to
132  * // allow structures to grow as required. Note: While it is allowed
133  * // to add members to the end of the structure, changing the order or
134  * // inserting members in the middle of the structure will break your
135  * // binary interface.
136  * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
137  *     [ATTR_MY_STRICT] = { .type = NLA_UNSPEC,
138  *                          .minlen = sizeof(struct my_struct) },
139  *
140  * // The binary structure is appened to the message using nla_put()
141  * struct my_struct foo = { .a = 1, .b = 2 };
142  * nla_put(msg, ATTR_MY_STRUCT, sizeof(foo), &foo);
143  *
144  * // On the receiving side, a pointer to the structure pointing inside
145  * // the message payload is returned by nla_get().
146  * if (attrs[ATTR_MY_STRUCT])
147  *     struct my_struct *foo = nla_get(attrs[ATTR_MY_STRUCT]);
148  * @endcode
149  *
150  * @par Integers (NLA_U8, NLA_U16, NLA_U32, NLA_U64)
151  * Integers come in different sizes from 8 bit to 64 bit. However, since the
152  * payload length is aligned to 4 bytes, integers smaller than 32 bit are
153  * only useful to enforce the maximum range of values.
154  * @par
155  * \b Note: There is no difference made between signed and unsigned integers.
156  * The validation only enforces the minimal payload length required to store
157  * an integer of specified type.
158  * @par
159  * @code
160  * // Even though possible, it does not make sense to specify .minlen or
161  * // .maxlen for integer types. The data types implies the corresponding
162  * // minimal payload length.
163  * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
164  *     [ATTR_FOO] = { .type = NLA_U32 },
165  *
166  * // Numeric values can be appended directly using the respective
167  * // nla_put_uxxx() function
168  * nla_put_u32(msg, ATTR_FOO, 123);
169  *
170  * // Same for the receiving side.
171  * if (attrs[ATTR_FOO])
172  *     uint32_t foo = nla_get_u32(attrs[ATTR_FOO]);
173  * @endcode
174  *
175  * @par Character string (NLA_STRING)
176  * This data type represents a NUL terminated character string of variable
177  * length. For binary data streams the type NLA_UNSPEC is recommended.
178  * @par
179  * @code
180  * // Enforce a NUL terminated character string of at most 4 characters
181  * // including the NUL termination.
182  * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
183  *     [ATTR_BAR] = { .type = NLA_STRING, maxlen = 4 },
184  *
185  * // nla_put_string() creates a string attribute of the necessary length
186  * // and appends it to the message including the NUL termination.
187  * nla_put_string(msg, ATTR_BAR, "some text");
188  *
189  * // It is safe to use the returned character string directly if the
190  * // attribute has been validated as the validation enforces the proper
191  * // termination of the string.
192  * if (attrs[ATTR_BAR])
193  *     char *text = nla_get_string(attrs[ATTR_BAR]);
194  * @endcode
195  *
196  * @par Flag (NLA_FLAG)
197  * This attribute type may be used to indicate the presence of a flag. The
198  * attribute is only valid if the payload length is zero. The presence of
199  * the attribute header indicates the presence of the flag.
200  * @par
201  * @code
202  * // This attribute type is special as .minlen and .maxlen have no effect.
203  * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
204  *     [ATTR_FLAG] = { .type = NLA_FLAG },
205  *
206  * // nla_put_flag() appends a zero sized attribute to the message.
207  * nla_put_flag(msg, ATTR_FLAG);
208  *
209  * // There is no need for a receival function, the presence is the value.
210  * if (attrs[ATTR_FLAG])
211  *     // flag is present
212  * @endcode
213  *
214  * @par Micro Seconds (NLA_MSECS)
215  *
216  * @par Nested Attribute (NLA_NESTED)
217  * Attributes can be nested and put into a container to create groups, lists
218  * or to construct trees of attributes. Nested attributes are often used to
219  * pass attributes to a subsystem where the top layer has no knowledge of the
220  * configuration possibilities of each subsystem.
221  * @par
222  * \b Note: When validating the attributes using nlmsg_validate() or
223  * nlmsg_parse() it will only affect the top level attributes. Each
224  * level of nested attributes must be validated seperately using
225  * nla_parse_nested() or nla_validate().
226  * @par
227  * @code
228  * // The minimal length policy may be used to enforce the presence of at
229  * // least one attribute.
230  * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
231  *     [ATTR_OPTS] = { .type = NLA_NESTED, minlen = NLA_HDRLEN },
232  *
233  * // Nested attributes are constructed by enclosing the attributes
234  * // to be nested with calls to nla_nest_start() respetively nla_nest_end().
235  * struct nlattr *opts = nla_nest_start(msg, ATTR_OPTS);
236  * nla_put_u32(msg, ATTR_FOO, 123);
237  * nla_put_string(msg, ATTR_BAR, "some text");
238  * nla_nest_end(msg, opts);
239  *
240  * // Various methods exist to parse nested attributes, the easiest being
241  * // nla_parse_nested() which also allows validation in the same step.
242  * if (attrs[ATTR_OPTS]) {
243  *     struct nlattr *nested[ATTR_MAX+1];
244  *
245  *     nla_parse_nested(nested, ATTR_MAX, attrs[ATTR_OPTS], &policy);

251  *
252  * @subsection attr_exceptions Exception Based Attribute Construction
253  * Often a large number of attributes are added to a message in a single
254  * function. In order to simplify error handling, a second set of
255  * construction functions exist which jump to a error label when they
256  * fail instead of returning an error code. This second set consists
257  * of macros which are named after their error code based counterpart
258  * except that the name is written all uppercase.
259  *
260  * All of the macros jump to the target \c nla_put_failure if they fail.
261  * @code
262  * void my_func(struct nl_msg *msg)
263  * {
264  *     NLA_PUT_U32(msg, ATTR_FOO, 10);
