w1: optional bundling of netlink kernel replies
Applications can submit a set of commands in one packet to the kernel, and in some cases it is required such as reading the temperature sensor results. This adds an option W1_CN_BUNDLE to the flags of cn_msg to request the kernel to reply in one packet for efficiency. The cn_msg flags now check for unknown flag values and return an error if one is seen. See "Proper handling of unknown flags in system calls" http://lwn.net/Articles/588444/ This corrects the ack values returned as per the protocol standard, namely the original ack for status messages and seq + 1 for all others such as the data returned from a read. Some of the common variable names have been standardized as follows. struct cn_msg *cn struct w1_netlink_msg *msg struct w1_netlink_cmd *cmd struct w1_master *dev When an argument and a function scope variable would collide, add req_ to the argument.
