Instead of calling the membership functions several times it is
helpfull to extend the API and make the single group functions a
special case.
The value 0 (NFNLGRP_NONE) terminates this list.
Example use:
nl_socket_add_memberships(sock, group_1, group_2, 0);
nl_socket_drop_memberships(sock, group_1, group_2, 0);

libnl: nfqueue: add nfqueue specific socket allocation function
nfqueue users usually send verdict messages from the receive callback.
When waiting for ACKs, the receive callback might be called again
recursively until the stack blows up.
Add a nfqueue specific socket allocation function that automatically
disables ACKing for the socket.

Hello! It seems that libnl is missing an include for limits.h, which
causes it to FTBFS when glibc 2.8 is installed (currently in
experimental, so I left this bug severity at "normal").
In file included from addr.c:28:
../include/netlink-local.h:119:1: warning: "__deprecated" redefined
In file included from /usr/include/linux/stddef.h:4,

This happens about 100 times. Suggested patch:
This changes make nfnl_ct_get_src_port() and others return the value
in host byte order rather than in network byte order.
Also splits printing into details and statistical section and
improves readability.
The idea of a common handle is long revised and only misleading,
nl_handle really represents a socket with some additional
action handlers assigned to it.
Alias for nl_handle is kept for backwards compatibility.
Replaces obsolete calls to nla_get_addr() and nla_get_data()
with nl_addr_alloc_attr() respectively nl_data_alloc_attr().
Also fixes missing error handling while parsing routing multipath
configuration.
In order for the interface to become more thread safe, the error
handling was revised to no longer depend on a static errno and
error string buffer.
This patch converts all error paths to return a libnl specific
error code which can be translated to a error message using
nl_geterror(int error). The functions nl_error() and
nl_get_errno() are therefore obsolete.
This change required various sets of function prototypes to be
changed in order to return an error code, the most prominent
are:
struct nl_cache *foo_alloc_cache(...);
changed to:
int foo_alloc_cache(..., struct nl_cache **);
struct nl_msg *foo_build_request(...);
changed to:
int foo_build_request(..., struct nl_msg **);
struct foo *foo_parse(...);
changed to:
int foo_parse(..., struct foo **);
This pretty much only leaves trivial allocation functions to
still return a pointer object which can still return NULL to
signal out of memory.
This change is a serious API and ABI breaker, sorry!
Added rtnl_route_foreach_nexthop() to walk the list of nexthops invoking a
caller-provided callback for each nexthop entry, and added rtnl_route_nexthop_n()
to retrieve the Nth nexthop entry in the list.
This changesets adds the possibility to fill a nl_cache with
the contents of the route cache. It also adds the possibility
to limit route caches to certain address families.
New netem-related functionality:
Added ability to save new settings to the kernel. In netem.c, the
netem_get_opts() stub has been replaced with netem_build_msg() which
manipulates the nl_msg data directly and returns an error code instead
of a new nl_msg. Modifications to qdisc_build() in qdisc.c and struct
rtnl_qdisc_ops were necessary for this.
Added support for getting/setting corruption probability/correlation.
Added support for setting a delay distribution.
Fixed tbf_msg_parser() to call tbf_alloc() instead of tbf_qdisc() to
prevent a seg fault.
I stepped over libnl always freeing the messages and it
kind of made it awkward to reuse the message data without
reallocating.
The basic idea is: if a callback return value has a bit set,
don't free that message. The calling application owns it.
By default, things stay as before (messages are freed).

Adds all missing routing attributes and brings the routing
related code to a working state. In the process the API
was broken several times with the justification that nobody
is using this code yet.
The changes include new example code which is also a prototype
for how plain CLI tools could look like to control routes.
[LIBNL]: Fix nfnl_queue_msg_get_packetid() return type
The packet-ID is a 32 bit value, but nfnl_queue_msg_get_packetid() returns
an uint16_t. Makes queueing fail after 2^16 packets.

Split the nfnetlink_log code into two seperate objects, "netfilter/log"
to represent logging instances and "netfilter/log_msg" to represent
log messages. Also perform some function name unification for consistency
with other libnl object types, mainly renaming nfnl_log_build_*_msg
to nfnl_log_build_*_request.
This changes the API in an incompatible way, but since this feature is
new and the libnl netfilter headers haven't been installed so far,
there shouldn't be any users affected by this.
