4ae09a3b80 net/netlink: Redesign the logic that handles notifications of when response data is available. Signal handlers are sub-optimal inside the OS (especially after the preceding change which forces the hand). Instead, use the work queue notifiers as is done with all other network notifiers. 2019-11-28 14:20:40 -06:00

056d704cf9 This commit brings in a fragmentary, experimental implementation of NETLINK sockets. There is not too much to that socket support on this initial commit, just the netlink socketer framework. However, I decided to bring it into master because there is a enough that I would not want to lose what is in place. And since it is dependent on CONFIG_EXPERIMENATL, its presence on master should be innocuous.
Squashed commit of the following:

    net/netlink:  Mark netlink support as EXPERIMENTAL.
    net/netlink/netlink_sockif.c:  Add netlink_getpeername to the socket interface.
    net:  Add getpeeername() support for netlink sockets.
    include/netpacket/netlink.h:  Add a few more definitions and structures used at the NetLink interface.  Still missing many.
    net/netlink:  Add basic framework for Netlink socket support.
    include/:  Add basic Netlink definitions.
