The linux-next integration testing tree

Significant part of GET request processing is common for most request types but unfortunately it cannot be easily separated from type specific code as we need to alternate between common actions (parsing common request header, allocating message and filling netlink/genetlink headers etc.) and specific actions (querying the device, composing the reply). The processing also happens in three different situations: "do" request, "dump" request and notification, each doing things in slightly different way. The request specific code is implemented in four or five callbacks defined in an instance of struct get_request_ops: parse_request() - parse incoming message prepare_data() - retrieve data from driver or NIC reply_size() - estimate reply message size fill_reply() - compose reply message cleanup_data() - (optional) clean up additional data Other members of struct get_request_ops describe the data structure holding information from client request and data used to compose the message. The default handlers ethnl_default_doit(), ethnl_default_dumpit(), ethnl_default_start() and ethnl_default_done() can be then used in genl_ops handler. Notification handler will be introduced in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
