2025-05-27tools: ynl: parse extack for sub-messagesDonald Hunter
Extend the Python YNL extack decoding to handle sub-messages in the same way that YNL C does. This involves retaining the input values so that they are available during extack decoding. ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family rt-link --do newlink --create \ --json '{ "linkinfo": {"kind": "netkit", "data": {"policy": 10} } }' Netlink error: Invalid argument nl_len = 92 (76) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2 error: -22 extack: {'msg': 'Provided default xmit policy not supported', 'bad-attr': '.linkinfo.data(netkit).policy'} Signed-off-by: Donald Hunter <donald.hunter@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250523103031.80236-1-donald.hunter@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2025-05-21tools: ynl-gen: support weird sub-message formatsJakub Kicinski
TC uses all possible sub-message formats: - nested attrs - fixed headers + nested attrs - fixed headers - empty Nested attrs are already supported for rt-link. Add support for remaining 3. The empty and fixed headers ones are fairly trivial, we can fake a Binary or Flags type instead of a Nest. For fixed headers + nest we need to teach nest parsing and nest put to handle fixed headers.

2025-05-21tools: ynl-gen: support passing selector to a nestJakub Kicinski
In rtnetlink all submessages had the selector at the same level of nesting as the submessage. We could refer to the relevant attribute from the current struct. In TC, stats are one level of nesting deeper than "kind". Teach the code-gen about structs which need to be passed a selector by the caller for parsing. Because structs are "topologically sorted" one pass of propagating the selectors down is enough. For generating netlink message we depend on the presence bits so no selector passing needed there.

Line 4 shows the error with the attribute path correctly generated by YNL. Then sample fixes the bad attribute and re-issues the request, with NLM_F_ECHO set. This flag causes the notification to be looped back to the initiating socket (our socket). Sample parses this notification to save the ifindex of the created netkit. Sample then proceeds to list the devices. Line 8 above shows a dummy device with two alt names. Lines 9 and 10 show the netkit devices the sample itself created. The "primary" and "policy" attrs are from inside the netkit submsg. The string values are auto-generated for the enums by YNL. To clean up sample deletes the interface it created (line 11).

2025-05-16tools: ynl: submsg: reverse parse / error reportingJakub Kicinski
Reverse parsing lets YNL convert bad and missing attr pointers from extack into a string like "missing attribute nest1.nest2.attr_name". It's a feature that's unique to YNL C AFAIU (even the Python YNL can't do nested reverse parsing). Add support for reverse-parsing of sub-messages. To simplify the logic and the code annotate the type policies with extra metadata. Mark the selectors and the messages with the information we need. We assume that key / selector always precedes the sub-message while parsing (and also if there are multiple sub-messages like in rt-link they are interleaved selector 1 ... submsg 1 ... selector 2 .. submsg 2, not selector 1 ... selector 2 ... submsg 1 ... submsg 2). The rt-link sample in a subsequent changes shows reverse parsing of sub-messages in action.

2025-05-16tools: ynl-gen: submsg: support parsing and rendering sub-messagesJakub Kicinski
Adjust parsing and rendering appropriately to make sub-messages work. Rendering is pretty trivial, as the submsg -> netlink conversion looks like rendering a nest in which only one attr was set. Only trick is that we use the enum value of the sub-message rather than the nest as the type, and effectively skip one layer of nesting. A real double nested struct would look like this: [SELECTOR] [SUBMSG] [NEST] [MSG1-ATTR] A submsg "is" the nest so by skipping I mean: [SELECTOR] [SUBMSG] [MSG1-ATTR] There is no extra validation in YNL if caller has set the selector matching the submsg type (e.g. link type = "macvlan" but the nest attrs are set to carry "veth"). Let the kernel handle that. Parsing side is a little more specialized as we need to render and insert a new kind of function which switches between what to parse based on the selector. But code isn't too complicated.

Support using a struct pointer for binary attrs. Len field is maintained because the structs may grow with newer kernel versions. Or, which matters more, be shorter if the binary is built against newer uAPI than kernel against which it's executed. Since we are storing a pointer to a struct type - always allocate at least the amount of memory needed by the struct per current uAPI headers (unused mem is zeroed). Technically users should check the length field but per modern ASAN checks storing a short object under a pointer seems like a bad idea.

2025-05-07tools: ynl-gen: move the count into a presence struct tooJakub Kicinski
While we reshuffle the presence members, move the counts as well. Previously array count members would have been place directly in the struct, so: struct family_op_req { struct { u32 a:1; u32 b:1; } _present; struct { u32 bin; } _len; u32 a; u64 b; const unsigned char *bin; u32 n_multi; << count u32 *multi; << objects }; Since len has been moved to its own presence struct move the count as well: struct family_op_req { struct { u32 a:1; u32 b:1; } _present; struct { u32 bin; } _len; struct { u32 multi; << count } _count; u32 a; u64 b; const unsigned char *bin; u32 *multi; << objects }; This improves the consistency and allows us to remove some hacks in the codegen.

2025-05-07tools: ynl-gen: split presence metadataJakub Kicinski
Each YNL struct contains the data and a sub-struct indicating which fields are valid. Something like: struct family_op_req { struct { u32 a:1; u32 b:1; u32 bin_len; } _present; u32 a; u64 b; const unsigned char *bin; }; Note that the bin object 'bin' has a length stored, and that length has a _len suffix added to the field name. This breaks if there is a explicit field called bin_len, which is the case for some TC actions. Move the length fields out of the _present struct, create a new struct called _len: struct family_op_req { struct { u32 a:1; u32 b:1; } _present; struct { u32 bin; } _len; u32 a; u64 b; const unsigned char *bin; }; This should prevent name collisions and help with the packing of the struct.

2025-05-02tools: ynl-gen: support CRUD-like notifications for classic NetlinkJakub Kicinski
Allow CRUD-style notification where the notification is more like the response to the request, which can optionally be looped back onto the requesting socket. Since the notification and request are different ops in the spec, for example: - name: delrule doc: Remove an existing FIB rule attribute-set: fib-rule-attrs do: request: value: 33 attributes: *fib-rule-all - name: delrule-ntf doc: Notify a rule deletion value: 33 notify: getrule We need to find the request by ID. Ideally we'd detect this model from the spec properties, rather than assume that its what all classic netlink families do. But maybe that'd cause this model to spread and its easy to get wrong. For now assume CRUD == classic.

Classic Netlink has GET callbacks with no doit support, just dumps. Support using their responses in notifications. If notification points at a type which only has a dump - use the dump's type.

2025-05-02tools: ynl: let classic netlink requests specify extra nlflagsJakub Kicinski
Classic netlink makes extensive use of flags. Support specifying them the same way as attributes are specified (using a helper), for example: rt_link_newlink_req_set_nlflags(req, NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_ECHO); Wrap the code up in a RenderInfo predicate. I think that some genetlink families may want this, too. It should be easy to add a spec property later.

The C codegen refers to op attribute lists all over the place, without checking if they are present, even tho attribute list is technically an optional property. Add them automatically at init if missing so that we don't have to make specs longer.

2025-04-16tools: ynl-gen: individually free previous values on double setJakub Kicinski
When user calls request_attrA_set() multiple times (for the same attribute), and attrA is of type which allocates memory - we try to free the previously associated values. For array types (including multi-attr) we have only freed the array, but the array may have contained pointers. Refactor the code generation for free attr and reuse the generated lines in setters to flush out the previous state. Since setters are static inlines in the header we need to add forward declarations for the free helpers of pure nested structs. Track which types get used by arrays and include the right forwad declarations. At least ethtool string set and bit set would not be freed without this. Tho, admittedly, overriding already set attribute twice is likely a very very rare thing to do.
