packet: nlmon: virtual netlink monitoring device for packet sockets
Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow. I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused, and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis. Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems. Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

---help---
|

|
This option enables a monitoring net device for netlink skbs. The
|
||||||
|
purpose of this is to analyze netlink messages with packet sockets.
|
||||||
|
Thus applications like tcpdump will be able to see local netlink
|
||||||
|
messages if they tap into the netlink device, record pcaps for further
|
||||||
|
diagnostics, etc. This is mostly intended for developers or support
|
||||||
|
to debug netlink issues. If unsure, say N.
