Previously coverity was complaining about a use-after-free.
This was not a real problem, because the printf statement
does not dereferenciate the pointer. Change it to avoid
the warning.

The check for !obj indicates that obj might be NULL, thus move the call
to obj_ops(obj) - which dereferences obj - after the check.

Since commit: "cache pickup: Avoid duplicates during cache pickup",
nfnl_ct_alloc_cache no longer properly fills the cache, as it doesn't
define oo_id_attrs so all items are considered duplicates.
Instead of adding a ~0 oo_id_attrs to ct_obj, this changes
nl_object_identical to default to comparing all attributes if
neither oo_id_attrs_get or oo_id_attrs are provided.

Passing a NULL pointer would cause a NULL pointer dereference within
nl_object_free().
Returning early on NULL pointer is the behavior free(3) and other
nl*_free() functions.

This patch adds new cache find api
nl_cache_find api was suggested by Thomas.
Unlike nl_cache_search, this patch uses
nl_object_match_filter() to look for an
object match.
Am not sure this matches what was decided
on the list few weeks back. I will be happy
to make any changes.

This patch adds support to update a cache object during cache_include instead
of the current approach of deleting the original object and adding a new one.
This operation is conditional on the object implementing the operation. If
the update is not successful, cache_include falls back to the existing cache
inclusion process of deleting and adding the object.
It adds a new object operation called oo_update. oo_update takes two objects
as arguments, first being the existing cache object that needs update, the
second argument being the new object. Currently it is left to the implementor
to use the msg type to decide wether to delete or add the new object attributes
to the old one. But the operation type or msg type can be easily made part of the
object arguments.
The motivation for this change is explained below in the context of including
support for AF_BRIDGE objects into the link cache.
libnl today deletes an object before it includes an identical object.
But for some objects like the AF_BRIDGE objects this does not work well.
link cache uses the ifindex as its key in object searches.
If link cache were to support AF_BRIDGE family objects, todays implementation,
- will replace the original link object with the bridge port link object
for add notifications
- And a bridge port delete notification from kernel would delete the
link object from the cache leaving the cache without the link object
until the kernel sends another notification for that link
The bridge port link notification contains some base link object attributes
plus bridge specific protocol info attributes. In such cases we think an
operation to update the existing object in place in cache might be useful.
This can be made to work for AF_INET6 link objects too.

The current oo_id_attrs nl_object op allows a fixed
id attribute list for an cache. But a cache with multiple families
may need to specify different id attributes for different families.
An example for this is the bridge fdb entries in the neigh cache:
neigh entries belonging to the AF_UNSPEC family use
(NEIGH_ATTR_IFINDEX | NEIGH_ATTR_DST | NEIGH_ATTR_FAMILY) as id attributes.
AF_BRIDGE fdb entries which also support the same msg type, will need to use
(NEIGH_ATTR_LLADDR | NEIGH_ATTR_FAMILY) as id attributes.
Today you cannot specify different set of attributes to two families belonging
to the same cache.
This patch adds a new object function oo_id_attrs_get to get the attributes.
An example implementation of oo_id_attrs_get for the neigh cache will
look like:
static uint32_t neigh_id_attrs_get(struct nl_object *obj)
{
struct rtnl_neigh *neigh = (struct rtnl_neigh *)obj;
if (neigh->n_family == AF_BRIDGE)
return (NEIGH_ATTR_LLADDR | NEIGH_ATTR_FAMILY);
else
return (NEIGH_ATTR_IFINDEX | NEIGH_ATTR_DST | NEIGH_ATTR_FAMILY);
}

4. nl_msec2str() - 64-bit msec is now properly used,
Only safe changes. I mean int <--> uint32_t and signed/unsigned fixes.
Some functinos require size_t argument instead of int, but changes of

Also, I do not pretend for a full list of fixes.
Just to shut up clang -Wall -Wextra
One more thing. ifindex. I don't change that because changes will
be too big for simple fix.
Attached is a patch to fix two problems with dumping objects to a buffer in=
stead of a file descriptor.
One was a problem in detecting the end of the buffer in the newline code.
The other was a problem with clearing the whole buffer before printing each=
object.
- changes the modules hierarchy to better represent the set of libaries

- readd doxygen mainpage to config file
- fix a couple of doxygen doc bugs
Rules don't have unique identifiers, so all attributes are compared
by initializing the ID mask to ~0. This doesn't work however since
nl_object_identical verifies whether the ID attributes are actually
present before comparing the objects, which is never the case.
Work around by using the intersection of present attributes when
comparing two rule objects.

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!
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.
