The wireguard YNL conversion was missing the customary .deps entry.
NIPA doesn't catch this but my CentOS 9 system complains:

And similarly does Ubuntu 22.04.
One extra complication here is that we renamed the header guard,
so we need to compat with both old and new guard define.

Add a test framework for YAML Netlink (YNL) tools, covering both CLI and
ethtool functionality. The framework includes:
1) cli: family listing, netdev, ethtool, rt-* families, and nlctrl
operations
2) ethtool: device info, statistics, ring/coalesce/pause parameters, and
feature gettings
The current YNL syntax is a bit obscure, and end users may not always know
how to use it. This test framework provides usage examples and also serves
as a regression test to catch potential breakages caused by future changes.

This patch adds a new CLI argument for overriding the default
function prefix, as used for naming the doit/dumpit functions
in the generated kernel code.
When not specified the default "$(FAMILY)-nl" is used.
This can also be specified persistently in generated files:
/* YNL-ARG --function-prefix wg */
In the above example it causes the following changes:
wireguard_nl_get_device_dumpit() -> wg_get_device_dumpit()
wireguard_nl_get_device_doit() -> wg_get_device_doit()
The variable name fn_prefix, was chosen as it relates to op_prefix
which is used to prefix the UAPI commands enum entries.

Add a sample tool demonstrating how to add, dump, and delete a
flower filter with two VLAN push actions. The example can be
invoked as:
# samples/tc-filter-add p2
flower pref 1 proto: 0x8100
flower:
vlan_id: 100
vlan_prio: 5
num_of_vlans: 3
action order: 1 vlan push id 200 protocol 0x8100 priority 0
action order: 2 vlan push id 300 protocol 0x8100 priority 0
This verifies correct handling of tc action attributes for multiple
VLAN push actions. The tc action indexed arrays start from index 1,
and the index defines the action order. This behavior differs from
the YNL specification, which expects arrays to be zero-based. To
accommodate this, the example adds a dummy action at index 0, which
is ignored by the kernel.

Based on past discussions it seems like integration of YNL into
iproute2 is unlikely. YNL itself is not great as a C library,
since it has no backward compat (we routinely change types).
Most of the operations can be performed with the generic Python
CLI directly. There is, however, a handful of operations where
summarization of kernel output is very useful (mostly related
to stats: page-pool, qstat).
Create a command (inspired by bpftool, I think it stood the test
of time reasonably well) to be able to plug the subcommands into.

In early days of YNL development dumping the NlMsg on errors
was quite useful, as the library itself could have been buggy.
These days increasingly the NlMsg is just taking up screen space
and means nothing to a typical user. Try to format the errors
more in line with how YNL C formats its errors strings.
Before:
$ ynl --family ethtool --do channels-set --json '{}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22
extack: {'miss-type': 'header'}
$ ynl --family ethtool --do channels-set --json '{..., "tx-count": 999}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 88 (72) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22
extack: {'msg': 'requested channel count exceeds maximum', 'bad-attr': '.tx-count'}

The ynl_attr_put_str() function was not including the null terminator
in the attribute length calculation. This caused kernel to reject
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY requests with EINVAL:
"Attribute failed policy validation".
For a 4-character family name like "dpll":
- Sent: nla_len=8 (4 byte header + 4 byte string without null)
- Expected: nla_len=9 (4 byte header + 5 byte string with null)
The bug was introduced in commit 15d2540e0d ("tools: ynl: check for
overflow of constructed messages") when refactoring from stpcpy() to
strlen(). The original code correctly included the null terminator:
end = stpcpy(ynl_attr_data(attr), str);
attr->nla_len = NLA_HDRLEN + NLA_ALIGN(end -
(char *)ynl_attr_data(attr));
Since stpcpy() returns a pointer past the null terminator, the length
included it. The refactored version using strlen() omitted the +1.
The fix also removes NLA_ALIGN() from nla_len calculation, since
nla_len should contain actual attribute length, not aligned length.
Alignment is only for calculating next attribute position. This makes
the code consistent with ynl_attr_put().
CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_NAME uses NLA_NUL_STRING policy which requires
null terminator. Kernel validates with memchr() and rejects if not
found.

In nested arrays don't require that the intermediate attribute
type should be a valid attribute type, it might just be zero
or an incrementing index, it is often not even used.
See include/net/netlink.h about NLA_NESTED_ARRAY:
> The difference to NLA_NESTED is the structure:
> NLA_NESTED has the nested attributes directly inside
> while an array has the nested attributes at another
> level down and the attribute types directly in the
> nesting don't matter.
Example based on include/uapi/linux/wireguard.h:
> WGDEVICE_A_PEERS: NLA_NESTED
> 0: NLA_NESTED
> WGPEER_A_PUBLIC_KEY: NLA_EXACT_LEN, len WG_KEY_LEN
> [..]
> 0: NLA_NESTED
> ...
> ...
Previous the check required that the nested type was valid
in the parent attribute set, which in this case resolves to
WGDEVICE_A_UNSPEC, which is YNL_PT_REJECT, and it took the
early exit and returned YNL_PARSE_CB_ERROR.
This patch renames the old nl_attr_validate() to
__nl_attr_validate(), and creates a new inline function
nl_attr_validate() to mimic the old one.
The new __nl_attr_validate() takes the attribute type as an
argument, so we can use it to validate attributes of a
nested attribute, in the context of the parents attribute
type, which in the above case is generated as:
[WGDEVICE_A_PEERS] = {
.name = "peers",
.type = YNL_PT_NEST,
.nest = &wireguard_wgpeer_nest,
},
__nl_attr_validate() only checks if the attribute length
is plausible for a given attribute type, so the .nest in
the above example is not used.
As the new inline function needs to be defined after
ynl_attr_type(), then the definitions are moved down,
so we avoid a forward declaration of ynl_attr_type().
Some other examples are NL80211_BAND_ATTR_FREQS (nest) and
NL80211_ATTR_SUPPORTED_COMMANDS (u32) both in nl80211-user.c

nlctrl-user.c: In function ‘nlctrl_getfamily_rsp_parse’:
nlctrl-user.c:341:30: note: ‘attr_ops’ was declared here
341 | const struct nlattr *attr_ops;
| ^~~~~~~~
It is a pity that we have to do this, but I see no other way than to
suppress the false positive by appeasing the compiler and initializing
the "*attr_{aspec.c_name}" variable with a bogus value (NULL). This will
never be used - at runtime it will always be overwritten when
"n_{struct[anest].c_name}" is non-zero.

Some attribute-set have a documentation (doc:), but it was not displayed
in the RST / HTML version. Such field can be found in ethtool, netdev,
tcp_metrics and team YAML files.
Only the 'name' and 'attributes' fields from an 'attribute-set' section
were parsed. Now the content of the 'doc' field, if available, is added
as a new paragraph before listing each attribute. This is similar to
what is done when parsing the 'operations'.
