简介

genetlink-with-libnl

genetlink-with-libnl文件夹包含kernel-module和userspace-module。实现了userspace-module向kernel-module发送消息，同时userspace-module可以监听kernel-module的multicast消息。

testgenl用户程序

• 参数-c：表示作为client，testgenel向kernel发送msg，testgenl将用户输入的字符和数字（日期）通过netlink传到testgenl.ko内核模块，并在kernel中将字符打印出来，testgenl.ko模块也会将字符串和数字（日期加一）返回给testgenl。
• 参数-s：表示作为server，testgenel接收kernel netlink multicast的msg，并打印接收到的msg。

testgenl.ko内核模块

• 当insmod testgenl.ko时，创建并注册family和multicast group；
• 启动timer，每隔10s发送multicast消息，testgenl用户程序绑定了对应的family和multicast gourp，就会收到消息；
• 可以接收testgenl用户程序发送的netlink消息；

netlink-with-socket

Netlink是一种userspace和kernel通信的机制。netlink-with-socket文件夹包含kernel-module和userspace-module，分别编译hello_netlink.ko内核模块和netlink_client用户程序。netlink_client将用户输入的字符通过netlink传到hello_netlink内核模块，并在kernel中将字符打印出来。

步骤

运行环境：VMware Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-142-generic

genetlink-with-libnl

进入genetlink-with-libnl目录执行下面命令：

sudo make

在根目录下面会产生testgenl.ko内核模块和testgenl用户程序。 在终端1中输入：

sudo insmod testgenl.ko
dmesg -Hw

ps:dmesg -Hw显示kernel log。 在终端2中输入：

./testgenl -c -s

netlink-with-socket

进入netlink-with-socket目录执行下面命令：

sudo make

在根目录下面会产生hello_netlink.ko内核模块和netlink_client用户程序。 在终端1中输入：

sudo insmod hello_netlink.ko
dmesg -Hw

ps:dmesg -Hw显示kernel log。 在终端2中输入：

./netlink_client

输入文本和kernel通信！

结果
