21 * 02110-1301, USA.
24 * This implements a direct communication channel between user space and
25 * the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back and
26 * forth.
28 * This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.
30 * See include/net/wimax.h
32 * GENERIC NETLINK ENCODING AND CAPACITY
34 * A destination "pipe name" is added to each message; it is up to the
35 * drivers to assign or use those names (if using them at all).
37 * Messages are encoded as a binary netlink attribute using nla_put()
38 * using type NLA_UNSPEC (as some versions of libnl still in
39 * deployment don't yet understand NLA_BINARY).
41 * The maximum capacity of this transport is PAGESIZE per message (so
42 * the actual payload will be bit smaller depending on the
43 * netlink/generic netlink attributes and headers).
45 * RECEPTION OF MESSAGES
47 * When a message is received from user space, it is passed verbatim
48 * to the driver calling wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user(). The return
49 * value from this function is passed back to user space as an ack
50 * over the generic netlink protocol.
52 * The stack doesn't do any processing or interpretation of these
53 * messages.
55 * SENDING MESSAGES
57 * Messages can be sent with wimax_msg().
59 * If the message delivery needs to happen on a different context to
60 * that of its creation, wimax_msg_alloc() can be used to get a
61 * pointer to the message that can be delivered later on with
62 * wimax_msg_send().
64 * ROADMAP
66 * wimax_gnl_doit_msg_from_user() Process a message from user space
67 * wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info()
68 * wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user() Delivery of message to the driver
70 * wimax_msg() Send a message to user space

89 * wimax_msg_alloc - Create a new skb for sending a message to userspace
91 * @wimax_dev: WiMAX device descriptor
92 * @pipe_name: "named pipe" the message will be sent to
93 * @msg: pointer to the message data to send
94 * @size: size of the message to send (in bytes), including the header.
95 * @gfp_flags: flags for memory allocation.
97 * Returns: %0 if ok, negative errno code on error
99 * Description:
101 * Allocates an skb that will contain the message to send to user
102 * space over the messaging pipe and initializes it, copying the
103 * payload.
105 * Once this call is done, you can deliver it with
106 * wimax_msg_send().
108 * IMPORTANT:
110 * Don't use skb_push()/skb_pull()/skb_reserve() on the skb, as
111 * wimax_msg_send() depends on skb->data being placed at the
112 * beginning of the user message.
114 * Unlike other WiMAX stack calls, this call can be used way early,
115 * even before wimax_dev_add() is called, as long as the
116 * wimax_dev->net_dev pointer is set to point to a proper
117 * net_dev. This is so that drivers can use it early in case they need
118 * to send stuff around or communicate with user space.
