[PATCH mptcp-next v3] mptcp: use GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK for token
Posted by Geliang Tang 5 days, 7 hours ago 
From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>

A more general way to check if MPTCP_PM_ATTR_TOKEN exists in 'info'
is to use GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK(info, MPTCP_PM_ATTR_TOKEN) instead of
directly reading info->attrs[MPTCP_PM_ATTR_TOKEN] and then checking
if it's NULL.

So this patch uses GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK() for 'token' in 'info' in
mptcp_userspace_pm_get_sock().

v3:
 - use GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK in mptcp_userspace_pm_get_sock only
 - drop GENL_SET_ERR_MSG as Matt suggested (thanks)

v2:
 - use GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK in get_addr(), dump_addr() and set_flags()
   too.

Thank you for the v3. While at it, do you want to do a similar change
everywhere we do:

  struct nlattr *X = info->attrs[MPTCP_PM_ATTR_Y]:
  if (!X) {
      GENL_SET_ERR_MSG(info, "missing ...");
      return Z;
  }

e.g. in mptcp_pm_nl_announce_doit() (addr), mptcp_pm_nl_remove_doit()
(id), mptcp_pm_nl_subflow_create_doit() (raddr, laddr),
mptcp_pm_nl_subflow_destroy_doit() (raddr, laddr).
(and maybe mptcp_pm_parse_pm_addr_attr(), but it needs more changes
around to pass the attribute ID, probably best not to change that)

Also, do you know if 'pm_nl_ctl' will continue to indicate a helpful
message if such attribute is missing (that's a message more for
userspace app dev)? Or does it need to be modified to display the
missing argument set by GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK()?

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks for this suggestion, I updated this in v4.

'pm_nl_ctl' can't display nl error msg, this is a bug in nl_error():

 $ sudo ip mptcp endpoint del id 100
 Error: address not found.
 $ sudo ./pm_nl_ctl del 100
 netlink error -22 (Invalid argument)
 ./pm_nl_ctl: bailing out due to netlink error[s]

Look at this test, nl error msg "address not found" in
mptcp_pm_nl_del_addr_doit() can be displayed in 'ip mptcp', but not in
'pm_nl_ctl'. I'll try to fix it.

I think no need to modify this, since after GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK(), we
will also call NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR/GENL_SET_ERR_MSG to set nl error msg
in the error paths.

It might help developers if pm_nl_ctl could also print errors generated
by GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK(), not only the ones generated with
GENL_SET_ERR_MSG().

If GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK() is used, it should no longer needed to use
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR/GENL_SET_ERR_MSG. I guess the userspace should be
able to find the arguments that are missing, no?

This can be done in another series of course.

Matt
