Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== tools: ynl-gen: additional C types and classic netlink handling This series is a bit of a random grab bag adding things we need to generate code for rt-link. First two patches are pretty random code cleanups. Patch 3 adds default values if the spec is missing them. Patch 4 adds support for setting Netlink request flags (NLM_F_CREATE, NLM_F_REPLACE etc.). Classic netlink uses those quite a bit. Patches 5 and 6 extend the notification handling for variations used in classic netlink. Patch 6 adds support for when notification ID is the same as the ID of the response message to GET. Next 4 patches add support for handling a couple of complex types. These are supported by the schema and Python but C code gen wasn't there. Patch 11 is a bit of a hack, it skips code related to kernel policy generation, since we don't need it for classic netlink. Patch 12 adds support for having different fixed headers per op. Something we could avoid in previous rtnetlink specs but some specs do mix. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20250425024311.1589323-1-kuba@kernel.org v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250424021207.1167791-1-kuba@kernel.org ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250429154704.2613851-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
