This patchset adds a 'sub-message' attribute type to the netlink-raw schema and implements it in ynl. This provides support for kind-specific options attributes as used in rt_link and tc raw netlink families. A description of the new 'sub-message' attribute type and the corresponding sub-message definitions is provided in patch 2. The patchset includes updates to the rt_link spec and a new tc spec that make use of the new 'sub-message' attribute type. Patch 1 adds missing scalar types to the netlink-raw schema Patch 2 and 3 add sub-message support to the schema and ynl Patch 4 adds binary and pad support to structs in netlink-raw Patches 5 and 6 contain specs that use the sub-message attribute type Donald Hunter (6): doc/netlink: Add bitfield32, s8, s16 to the netlink-raw schema doc/netlink: Add sub-message support to netlink-raw tools/net/ynl: Add 'sub-message' attribute decoding to ynl tools/net/ynl: Add binary and pad support to structs for tc doc/netlink/specs: add sub-message type to rt_link family doc/netlink/specs: Add a spec for tc Documentation/netlink/netlink-raw.yaml | 56 +- Documentation/netlink/specs/rt_link.yaml | 273 ++- Documentation/netlink/specs/tc.yaml | 2008 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/net/ynl/lib/nlspec.py | 57 +- tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py | 84 +- 5 files changed, 2452 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/netlink/specs/tc.yaml -- 2.42.0
