packet: nlmon: virtual netlink monitoring device for packet sockets
Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that
is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch
implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be
made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a
similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow.
I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink
net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET
sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can
already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have
RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused,
and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we
simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis.
Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be
changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but
not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of
netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems.
Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

purpose of this is to analyze netlink messages with packet sockets.

Thus applications like tcpdump will be able to see local netlink

This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
|
|
|
|
NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
|
|
|
|
cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
|
|
|
|
TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
|
|
|
|
downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
|
|
|
|
provided by your regular phone modem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
|
|
|
|
you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
|
|
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
|
|
|
|
to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
|
|
|
|
a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
|
|
|
|
found at:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have this card, of course say N.

This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
|
|
|
|
domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
|
|
|
|
Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
|
|
|
|
system that implements a compatible front end.

The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the

|
|
|
|
The backend driver presents a standard network device
|
|
|
|
endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
|
|
|
|
domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
|
|
|
|
etc in order to provide full network connectivity.

If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver

compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module
