commit 2a82d74a4af35654cdb1d1f700328746cf80a808 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Tue Oct 30 22:01:24 2018 +0100
batman-adv: Add inconsistent hardif netlink dump detection
The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either receive some entries multiple times or miss entries.
Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again.
The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.
