Donald Hunter says: ==================== tools/net/ynl: Add support for netlink-raw families This patchset adds support for netlink-raw families such as rtnetlink. Patch 1 fixes a typo in existing schemas Patch 2 contains the schema definition Patches 3 & 4 update the schema documentation Patches 5 - 9 extends ynl Patches 10 - 12 add several netlink-raw specs The netlink-raw schema is very similar to genetlink-legacy and I thought about making the changes there and symlinking to it. On balance I thought that might be problematic for accurate schema validation. rtnetlink doesn't seem to fit into unified or directional message enumeration models. It seems like an 'explicit' model would be useful, to force the schema author to specify the message ids directly. There is not yet support for notifications because ynl currently doesn't support defining 'event' properties on a 'do' operation. The message ids are shared so ops need to be both sync and async. I plan to look at this in a future patch. The link and route messages contain different nested attributes dependent on the type of link or route. Decoding these will need some kind of attr-space selection that uses the value of another attribute as the selector key. These nested attributes have been left with type 'binary' for now. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230825122756.7603-1-donald.hunter@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
