*
* This implements a direct communication channel between user space and
* the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back and
* forth.
*
* This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.
*
* See include/net/wimax.h
*
* GENERIC NETLINK ENCODING AND CAPACITY
*
* A destination "pipe name" is added to each message; it is up to the
* drivers to assign or use those names (if using them at all).
*
* Messages are encoded as a binary netlink attribute using nla_put()
* using type NLA_UNSPEC (as some versions of libnl still in
* deployment don't yet understand NLA_BINARY).
*
* The maximum capacity of this transport is PAGESIZE per message (so
* the actual payload will be bit smaller depending on the
* netlink/generic netlink attributes and headers).
*
* RECEPTION OF MESSAGES
*
* When a message is received from user space, it is passed verbatim
* to the driver calling wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user(). The return
* value from this function is passed back to user space as an ack
* over the generic netlink protocol.
*
* The stack doesn't do any processing or interpretation of these
* messages.
*
* SENDING MESSAGES
*
* Messages can be sent with wimax_msg().
*
* If the message delivery needs to happen on a different context to
* that of its creation, wimax_msg_alloc() can be used to get a
* pointer to the message that can be delivered later on with
* wimax_msg_send().
*
* ROADMAP
*
* wimax_gnl_doit_msg_from_user() Process a message from user space
* wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info()
* wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user() Delivery of message to the driver
*
* wimax_msg() Send a message to user space
* wimax_msg_alloc()
* wimax_msg_send()

/**
* wimax_msg_alloc - Create a new skb for sending a message to userspace
*
* @wimax_dev: WiMAX device descriptor
* @pipe_name: "named pipe" the message will be sent to
* @msg: pointer to the message data to send
* @size: size of the message to send (in bytes), including the header.
* @gfp_flags: flags for memory allocation.
*
* Returns: %0 if ok, negative errno code on error
*
* Description:
*
* Allocates an skb that will contain the message to send to user
* space over the messaging pipe and initializes it, copying the
* payload.
*
* Once this call is done, you can deliver it with
* wimax_msg_send().
*
* IMPORTANT:
*
* Don't use skb_push()/skb_pull()/skb_reserve() on the skb, as
* wimax_msg_send() depends on skb->data being placed at the
* beginning of the user message.
*
* Unlike other WiMAX stack calls, this call can be used way early,
* even before wimax_dev_add() is called, as long as the
* wimax_dev->net_dev pointer is set to point to a proper
* net_dev. This is so that drivers can use it early in case they need
* to send stuff around or communicate with user space.
