Merge branch 'tools-net-ynl-add-sub-message-support-to-ynl'
Donald Hunter says: ==================== tools/net/ynl: Add 'sub-message' support to ynl 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 3. The patchset includes updates to the rt_link spec and a new tc spec that make use of the new 'sub-message' attribute type. As mentioned in patch 4, encode support is not yet implemented in ynl and support for sub-message selectors at a different nest level from the key attribute is not yet supported. I plan to work on these in follow-up patches. Patches 1 is code cleanup in ynl Patches 2-4 add sub-message support to the schema and ynl with documentation updates. Patch 5 adds binary and pad support to structs in netlink-raw. Patches 6-8 contain specs that use the sub-message attribute type. Patches 9-13 update ynl-gen-rst and its make target ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231215093720.18774-1-donald.hunter@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
