Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/7] Netlink protocol specs
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2022 19:34:11 -0700	[thread overview]

Hi!

I think the Netlink proto specs are far along enough to merge.
Filling in all attribute types and quirks will be an ongoing
effort but we have enough to cover FOU so it's somewhat complete.

I fully intend to continue polishing the code but at the same
time I'd like to start helping others base their work on the
specs (e.g. DPLL) and need to start working on some new families
myself.

That's the progress / motivation for merging. The RFC [1] has more
of a high level blurb, plus I created a lot of documentation, I'm
not going to repeat it here. There was also the talk at LPC [2].

v2:
 - update docs
 - change comment format in uAPI from // to /* */
 - rename fou.c to make linker happy

Jakub Kicinski (7):
  docs: add more netlink docs (incl. spec docs)
  netlink: add schemas for YAML specs
  net: add basic C code generators for Netlink
  netlink: add a proto specification for FOU
  net: fou: regenerate the uAPI from the spec
  net: fou: rename the source for linking
  net: fou: use policy and operation tables generated from the spec
