Hi Edouard,
I probably should have been a bit more clear in my earlier emails, I
apologize. The latest released version of NetLabel Tools, version 0.17, only
provides support for libnl versions 1.0-pre5 and 1.0-pre6; with 1.0-pre5 used
be default. It is not uncommon for Thomas to change the libnl API between
releases so I'm not surprised that you have run into problems with the latest
snapshot of libnl from the SVN repository. My suggestion is to try building
NetLabel tools, either version 0.17 or the latest from SVN, against libnl
version 1.0-pre5 as I personally use this and know it works.
I just took a quick look at the code you attached and I have a few comments.
See below:
>>> Snippet from genl_kernel.c
int cac_discover(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info)
{
struct sk_buff *msg;
void *hdr;
int err;
printk("Discover reçu !!!\n");
msg = nlmsg_new(NLMSG_GOODSIZE);
>>> This should probably be nlmsg_new(NLMSG_GOODSIZE, GFP_KERNEL) if you are
>>> compiling this in the kernel
if (!msg)
return -ENOBUFS;
As far as the userspace code, it looks like you just copied most of it from
libnetlabel (part of NetLabel Tools) so no real comments from me other than
the fact that it's a good idea to preserve the copyright notice taken from
the original work (GPL in this case) when doing so - it keeps the original
developer happy ;)
