libnetlink: fix a crash with a non vlan interface

Fix a segmentation fault when starting when accel-ppp is configured with an non vlan interface. Signed-off-by: Philippe Guibert Signed-off-by: Louis Scalbert

Use 64-bit interface statistics rather than doing custom 32-bit overflow handling.

2022-11-01T08:51:34+00:00

When a link has a relatively high throughput, the 32-bit packet and byte counters could overflow multiple times between accounting runs. To accommodate this limitation, directly use 64-bit interface statistics. This also gets rid of the internal giga-word counters.

T55: add netlink buffer size configuration parameters

2021-12-20T15:00:32+00:00

Netlink buffers may overflow so it might be useful to increase send and receive netlink buffer sizes. Two parameters to [common] configuration section added: nl-rcv-buffer, nl-snd-buffer. It is required to set (sysctl) net.core.wmem_max>=nl-snd-buffer and net.core.rmem_max>=nl-rcv-buffer before running accel-pppd To check current netlink buffer size and related info use the following command: % ss -f netlink -m 0 0 rtnl:kernel * skmem:(r0,rb212992,t0,tb212992,f0,w0,o0,bl0,d0) 0 0 rtnl:-1140221812 * skmem:(r0,rb2048000,t0,tb80000,f0,w0,o0,bl0,d0) 0 0 rtnl:accel-pppd/14285 * skmem:(r0,rb2048000,t0,tb65536,f0,w0,o0,bl0,d0) ... (Please check man ss to get the meaning for r,rb,t,tb,f,w,o,bl and d params) In the ss output you will see the values doubled from configured. First accel-pppd netlink socket will use default values (rcv=1048576, snd=32768) regardless of configured nl-rcv-buffer and nl-snd-buffer values. Signed-off-by: Sergey V. Lobanov

iputils: remove unnecessary NLM_F_ACK

2018-12-20T03:21:36+00:00

Using NLM_F_ACK in these functions is confusing because they don't parse any netlink response. In fact, NLM_F_ACK is only required internally by rtnl_talk(), which already adds it when its 'answer' parameter is NULL. Therefore it's useless to manually set it in functions that don't set 'answer'. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault
