2023-01-31netlink: specs: finish up operation enum-modelsJakub Kicinski1-3/+1
I had a (bright?) idea of introducing the concept of enum-models to account for all the weird ways families enumerate their messages. I've never finished it because generating C code for each of them is pretty daunting. But for languages which can use ID values directly the support is simple enough, so clean this up a bit. "unified" model is what I recommend going forward. "directional" model is what ethtool uses. "notify-split" is used by the proposed DPLL code, but we can just make them use "unified", it hasn't been merged :) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2023-01-24netlink: add schemas for YAML specsJakub Kicinski1-0/+333
Add schemas for Netlink spec files. As described in the docs we have 4 "protocols" or compatibility levels, and each one comes with its own schema, but the more general / legacy schemas are superset of more modern ones: genetlink is the smallest followed by genetlink-c and genetlink-legacy. There is no schema for raw netlink, yet, I haven't found the time.. I don't know enough jsonschema to do inheritance or something but the repetition is not too bad. I hope.
