[PATCH net-next v4 0/8] ethtool: generate uapi header from the spec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We keep expanding ethtool netlink api surface and this leads to
constantly playing catchup on the ynl spec side. There are a couple
of things that prevent us from fully converting to generating
the header from the spec (stats and cable tests), but we can
generate 95% of the header which is still better than maintaining
c header and spec separately. The series adds a couple of missing
features on the ynl-gen-c side and separates the parts
that we can generate into new ethtool_netlink_generated.h.

v4:
- add 'none' doc to 'none' entry (Jakub)
- remove trailing _ from ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_XXX doc entries (Jakub)

v3:
- s/Unsupported enum-model/Unsupported message enum-model/ (Jakub)
- add placeholder doc for header-flags (Jakub)

v2:
- attr-cnt-name -> enum-cnt-name (Jakub)
- add enum-cnt-name documentation (Jakub)
- __ETHTOOL_XXX_CNT -> __ethtool-xxx-cnt + c_upper (Jakub)
- keep and refine enum model check (Jakub)
- use 'header' presence as a signal to omit rendering instead of new
  'render' property (Jakub)
- new patch to reverse the order of header dependencies in xxx-user.h

Stanislav Fomichev (8):
  ynl: support enum-cnt-name attribute in legacy definitions
  ynl: skip rendering attributes with header property in uapi mode
  ynl: support directional specs in ynl-gen-c.py
  ynl: add missing pieces to ethtool spec to better match uapi header
  ynl: include uapi header after all dependencies
  ethtool: separate definitions that are gonna be generated
  ethtool: remove the comments that are not gonna be generated
  ethtool: regenerate uapi header from the spec
