Changes in V2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Add more explanation to patch #7 - Fix missing parenthesis in the realloc() size in patch #7
This series implements link state tracking over all port via a single RT netlink socket. Unfortunately this ends up being a fair amount of code simply because the netlink API does not allow selective per-port tracking. We work around this limitation by de-multiplexing the notifications from a single socket in the clock module. Patches 1 and 2 add generic rtnl code started long ago. Patches 3 and 4 fix coding style I noticed in passing. Patches 5-7 implement the link state tracking. Comments and criticism are most welcome! Thanks, Richard Richard Cochran (7): rtnl: Introduce RT netlink sockets. sk: Add a method to obtain a socket for utility purposes. clock: Remove stray semicolon. clock: Fix coding style within a helper function. clock: Remember each port's interface index. port: Provide methods to set and get the link status. clock: Monitor the link status using a RT netlink socket. clock.c | 104 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- makefile | 2 +- port.c | 13 ++++++ port.h | 14 ++++++ rtnl.c | 161 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ rtnl.h | 54 +++++++++++++++++++++ sk.c | 10 ++++ sk.h | 6 +++ 8 files changed, 347 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) create mode 100644 rtnl.c create mode 100644 rtnl.h -- 2.1.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Linuxptp-devel mailing list Linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxptp-devel
