[PATCH v2] wireguard: netlink: add multicast notification for peer changes

Linus Lotz linus at lotz.li
Fri Jan 15 19:53:51 UTC 2021


This commit adds a new multicast group to the netlink api for wireguard.
The purpose of this multicast group is to notify userspace when the
peers of an interface change. Right now this is only done when the
endpoint is changed by whatever means.

An example for an consumer of this API would be a service that keeps
track of all peer endpoints and sends this information to the peers.
This would allow NAT-to-NAT connections without the need of using
STUN on each client.

In v2 I fixed a possible uninitialized use.
