Fixed bug that left a dangling pointer after clearing the ifalias
property. This happened when calling 'rtnl_link_get_ifalias(link, NULL)'
on a link that has already an ifalias set.
This can cause a crash and/or a double-free.
Error found by coverity.

Take 'include/uapi/linux/snmp.h' from current kernel v3.13
(commit d8ec26d7f8287f5788a494f56e8814210f0e64be).
The header file added new values for IPSTATS_MIB_* and ICMP6_MIB_*, but
more importantly, the kernel broke user space API by reordering enum values in
IPSTATS_MIB_*. Add a workaround when parsing IFLA_PROTINFO trying to
be compatible with both older and newer kernels.
Note that this workaround might fail for some specific kernel versions by
assuming the old enum value mapping, although the kernel version already
contains the API change. In this case rtnl_link_get_stat() mixes up
values.

When sk == NULL, rtnl_link_alloc_cache() returns 0 but the cache

Introduced by commit 8026fe2e3a ("link:
Free and realloc af specific data upon rtnl_link_set_family()")
link->l_af_data[link->l_af_ops->ao_family] is freed here but not set to
zero. That leads to double free made by link_free_data->do_foreach_af.
Fix this by setting link->l_af_data[link->l_af_ops->ao_family] to zero
rigth after free.

In the current code if rtnl_link_af_data_compare returns value > 0
we mark PROTINFO attribute in the diff mask and return without
comparing flags.
This patch makes af_data to be the last thing we compare.

This patch reverts back the AF_UNSPEC check introduced by AF_BRIDGE
changes at http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libnl/2012-November/000796.html
After the addition of AF_BRIDGE support, link cache can now contain objects of
type AF_BRIDGE. To make sure existing api's did not return AF_BRIDGE objects
and surprise existing callers, I introduced the check for AF_UNSPEC.
But from what Andy Wang reported, rtnl_link_get_by_name returns the first
link object with matching ifindex and that could have not only been AF_UNSPEC
but also of family AF_INET6. And his app always got an AF_INET6 object prior
to the patch that introduced the AF_UNSPEC check.
I could just add AF_INET6 family check along with AF_UNSPEC in the apis and that
should work well.
But thinking about it some more, removing the AF_UNSPEC change seems to be safer at
this point. That way this api will retain its semantics and return the first object
with matching ifindex. It could be of any supported family. The user will know if the
cache contains bridge objects, because they are available only with the cache flag
NL_CACHE_AF_ITER. Besides, if new users want to search for a specific object,
nl_cache_find is a better option.

Today the link compare function does not
compare af data of a link. We have found a
need for this to get approriate change callbacks
when af_data of a link changes.
This patch adds support to compare af_data
to link_compare function. This patch today
only adds support to compare af_data set by
PROTINFO attributes. It can be extended to
support compares of af_data set by AF_SPEC
attributes
It has been tested for AF_BRIDGE objects.
In case of AF_BRIDGE objects, this helps with
bridge port change notification callbacks.

This patch was previously submitted as the first approach in
RFC http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libnl/2012-November/000730.html
It adds support for AF_BRIDGE family in link cache.
And the key for link object lookups will now be ifindex and family.
This allows for AF_UNSPEC rtnl link objects to co-exist with the AF_BRIDGE
link objects in the same cache.
I have changed some of the rtnl_link api's to explicitly check for
AF_UNSPEC to not break existing apps. I will submit a new patch to
introduce equivalent rtnl_bridge_link_* api's.
We had also discussed updating the existing link objects with
AF_BRIDGE attributes, but realized that the updates to link objects will
be both AF_UNSPEC and AF_BRIDGE. And that would change link cache to always
update existing objects, resulting in comparing and updating close to
thirty attributes at cache_include time which seems like a overkill.

On some architectures, uint64_t is defined as:
typedef unsigned long long int __u64;
on another architectures as:
typedef unsigned long int __u64;
So, according to man 3 printf,
uint64_t should be printed as "%llu" on some architectures, and as "%lu" on another. The same for scanf.
To eliminate that challenge, there is inttypes.h, in which appropriate constants
are defined for current architecture.
32-bit types (and even 16 and 8 bit types) should be printed using such constants if
printed variable defined as uint_XXXt or intXXXt type. But in reality 32-bit and less
types does not gain run-time error (except in scanf), because they pushed to stack as
32-bit values at least. So, I decide not to fix that.
- changes the modules hierarchy to better represent the set of libaries
- list the header file that needs to be included
- remove examples/doc from api ref that is included in the guide
- add references to the guide

- readd doxygen mainpage to config file
- fix a couple of doxygen doc bugs
