shill: Configures netlink broadcast messaging with raw sockets.
This CL provides an interface for software to request the netlink
message_type and available multicast groups corresponding to a netlink
family name. The new software completely replaces the old event_type
stuff that utilized libnl to get this information (and, as such, it is
the last nail in the coffin of using libnl for netlink communication
with the kernel). |NetlinkMessage|s now get their message_type from
Config80211.
Also includes code to handle multi-part responses to a netlink message.
BUG=chromium:218211
TEST=unittests and manual tests. The manual tests consist of:
- Start shill with log=-10/wifi. On the target, in a shell window,
do the following:
o stop shill
o shill --log-level=-10 --log-scopes=wifi
- Wait five seconds (the code will do everything it needs to at
startup).
- Look in /var/log/net.log and verify the following:
o a CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY message is sent to the kernel (just search
for the 'CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY' string.
o a CTRL_CMD_NEWFAMILY message is received from the kernel
o after those messages, verify that one or more
NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN messages received from the kernel.
