Netlink 使用简单教程
Netlink Socket是用以实现用户进程与内核进程通信的一种特殊的进程间通信(IPC) ，也是网络应用程序与内核通信的最常用的接口。
Netlink 分为用户态与核心态两部分。
本篇笔记包含最基本的操作，内核态只使用单播
用户态
用户态数据结构
sockaddr_nl
地址，实现中会使用 user process 的地址与 kernel process 的地址
// #include <linux/netlink.h>
struct sockaddr_nl {
__kernel_sa_family_t nl_family; /* AF_NETLINK, 表明是Netlink socket*/
unsigned short nl_pad; /* zero */
__u32 nl_pid; /* port id */
__u32 nl_groups; /* multicast groups mask */
};
nlmsghd
netlink 的消息头
// #include <linux/netlink.h>
struct nlmsghdr {
__u32 nlmsg_len; /* Length of message including header */
__u16 nlmsg_type; /* Message content */
__u16 nlmsg_flags; /* Additional flags */
__u32 nlmsg_seq; /* Sequence number */
__u32 nlmsg_pid; /* Sending process port ID */
};
在实现过程中，nlmsghd 作为消息头，随后紧跟的一片内存空间是 payload。
- nlmsg_type : 消息状态，可选项：
// linux/netlink.h
#define NLMSG_NOOP 0x1 /* Nothing. */
#define NLMSG_ERROR 0x2 /* Error */
#define NLMSG_DONE 0x3 /* End of a dump */
#define NLMSG_OVERRUN 0x4 /* Data lost */
#define NLMSG_MIN_TYPE 0x10 /* < 0x10: reserved control messages */
- nlmsg_flags : 消息标志，可选项：
// linux/netlink.h
/* Flags values */
#define NLM_F_REQUEST 0x01 /* It is request message. */
#define NLM_F_MULTI 0x02 /* Multipart message, terminated by NLMSG_DONE */
#define NLM_F_ACK 0x04 /* Reply with ack, with zero or error code */
#define NLM_F_ECHO 0x08 /* Echo this request */
#define NLM_F_DUMP_INTR 0x10 /* Dump was inconsistent due to sequence change */
#define NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED 0x20 /* Dump was filtered as requested */
/* Modifiers to GET request */
#define NLM_F_ROOT 0x100 /* specify tree root */
#define NLM_F_MATCH 0x200 /* return all matching */
#define NLM_F_ATOMIC 0x400 /* atomic GET */
#define NLM_F_DUMP (NLM_F_ROOT|NLM_F_MATCH)
/* Modifiers to NEW request */
#define NLM_F_REPLACE 0x100 /* Override existing */
#define NLM_F_EXCL 0x200 /* Do not touch, if it exists */
#define NLM_F_CREATE 0x400 /* Create, if it does not exist */
#define NLM_F_APPEND 0x800 /* Add to end of list */
/* Modifiers to DELETE request */
#define NLM_F_NONREC 0x100 /* Do not delete recursively */
/* Flags for ACK message */
#define NLM_F_CAPPED 0x100 /* request was capped */
#define NLM_F_ACK_TLVS 0x200 /* extended ACK TVLs were included */
用户态函数
参见例程，这里记录函数原型定义头文件
// sys/socket.h
// socket 创建函数
int socket (int __domain, int __type, int __protocol);
// bind
int bind (int __fd, __CONST_SOCKADDR_ARG __addr, socklen_t __len);
// 发送数据
ssize_t sendto (int __fd, const void *__buf, size_t __n,
int __flags, __CONST_SOCKADDR_ARG __addr,
socklen_t __addr_len);
// 接收数据
ssize_t recvfrom (int __fd, void *__restrict __buf, size_t __n,
int __flags, __SOCKADDR_ARG __addr,
socklen_t *__restrict __addr_len);
// unistd.h
// 关闭socket
int close (int __fd);
一些宏
NLMSG_SPACE(payload_size) // 计算发送 payload_size 所需要分配的空间大小
// 空间大小包括 nlmsghd + payload
// 空间大小是经过字节对齐的最小值，
NLMSG_DATA(nlh_ptr) // 计算nlmsghdr指针对应的payload的开始指针
// 还有一些宏位于 linux/netlink.h
核心态
核心态需要使用 linux 内核编程，基础的内核编程内容不在本篇笔记范围内。
核心态使用与用户态相同的 nlmsghdr 结构体
核心态结构体
netlink_kernel_cfg
内核 netlink socket 配置参数结构体
/* optional Netlink kernel configuration parameters */
struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
unsigned int groups;
unsigned int flags;
void (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb); // 收到信息后的回调函数
struct mutex *cb_mutex;
void (*bind)(int group);
bool (*compare)(struct net *net, struct sock *sk);
};
netlink 协议类型
linux 有一些默认的 netlink 协议类型，相同协议类型的 socket 才能在用户态与核心态之间通信。
用户可以在未被使用的协议号中选择，最大值为32
// linux/netlink.h
#define NETLINK_ROUTE 0 /* Routing/device hook */
#define NETLINK_UNUSED 1 /* Unused number */
#define NETLINK_USERSOCK 2 /* Reserved for user mode socket protocols */
#define NETLINK_FIREWALL 3 /* Unused number, formerly ip_queue */
#define NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG 4 /* socket monitoring */
#define NETLINK_NFLOG 5 /* netfilter/iptables ULOG */
#define NETLINK_XFRM 6 /* ipsec */
#define NETLINK_SELINUX 7 /* SELinux event notifications */
#define NETLINK_ISCSI 8 /* Open-iSCSI */
#define NETLINK_AUDIT 9 /* auditing */
#define NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP 10
#define NETLINK_CONNECTOR 11
#define NETLINK_NETFILTER 12 /* netfilter subsystem */
#define NETLINK_IP6_FW 13
#define NETLINK_DNRTMSG 14 /* DECnet routing messages */
#define NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT 15 /* Kernel messages to userspace */
#define NETLINK_GENERIC 16
/* leave room for NETLINK_DM (DM Events) */
#define NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT 18 /* SCSI Transports */
#define NETLINK_ECRYPTFS 19
#define NETLINK_RDMA 20
#define NETLINK_CRYPTO 21 /* Crypto layer */
#define NETLINK_SMC 22 /* SMC monitoring */
#define NETLINK_INET_DIAG NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG
#define MAX_LINKS 32
核心态函数
static inline struct sock *
netlink_kernel_create(struct net *net, int unit, struct netlink_kernel_cfg *cfg);
// net 网络命名空间，一般默认传入 &init_net
// unit netlink 协议类型
// cfg 存放配置参数，一般仅设置回调函数
/* 发送单播消息 */
extern int netlink_unicast(struct sock *ssk, struct sk_buff *skb, __u32 portid, int nonblock);
/*
ssk: netlink socket
skb: skb buff 指针，可以通过skb获得nlmsghdr及后续的payload
portid： 通信的端口号
nonblock：表示该函数是否为非阻塞，如果为1，该函数将在没有接收缓存可利用时立即返回，而如果为0，该函数在没有接收缓存可利用定时睡眠
