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].

+===================================
+Netlink notes for kernel developers
+===================================
+
+General guidance
+================
+
+Attribute enums
+---------------
+
+Older families often define "null" attributes and commands with value
+of ``0`` and named ``unspec``. This is supported (``type: unused``)
+but should be avoided in new families. The ``unspec`` enum values are
+not used in practice, so just set the value of the first attribute to ``1``.
+
+Message enums
+-------------
+
+Use the same command IDs for requests and replies. This makes it easier
+to match them up, and we have plenty of ID space.
+
+Use separate command IDs for notifications. This makes it easier to
+sort the notifications from replies (and present them to the user
+application via a different API than replies).
+
+Answer requests
+---------------
+
+Older families do not reply to all of the commands, especially NEW / ADD
+commands. User only gets information whether the operation succeeded or
+not via the ACK. Try to find useful data to return. Once the command is
+added whether it replies with a full message or only an ACK is uAPI and
+cannot be changed. It's better to err on the side of replying.
+
+Specifically NEW and ADD commands should reply with information identifying
+the created object such as the allocated object's ID (without having to
+resort to using ``NLM_F_ECHO``).
+
+NLM_F_ECHO
+----------
+
+Make sure to pass the request info to genl_notify() to allow ``NLM_F_ECHO``
+to take effect.  This is useful for programs that need precise feedback
+from the kernel (for example for logging purposes).
+
+Support dump consistency
+------------------------
+
+If iterating over objects during dump may skip over objects or repeat
+them - make sure to report dump inconsistency with ``NLM_F_DUMP_INTR``.
+This is usually implemented by maintaining a generation id for the
+structure and recording it in the ``seq`` member of struct netlink_callback.
+
+Netlink specification
+=====================
+
+Documentation of the Netlink specification parts which are only relevant
+to the kernel space.
+
+Globals
+-------
+
+kernel-policy
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Defines if the kernel validation policy is per operation (``per-op``)
+or for the entire family (``global``). New families should use ``per-op``
+(default) to be able to narrow down the attributes accepted by a specific
+command.
+
+checks
+------
+
+Documentation for the ``checks`` sub-sections of attribute specs.
+
+unterminated-ok
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Accept strings without the null-termination (for legacy families only).
+Switches from the ``NLA_NUL_STRING`` to ``NLA_STRING`` policy type.
+
+max-len
+~~~~~~~
+
+Defines max length for a binary or string attribute (corresponding
+to the ``len`` member of struct nla_policy). For string attributes terminating
+null character is not counted towards ``max-len``.
+
+The field may either be a literal integer value or a name of a defined
+constant. String types may reduce the constant by one
+(i.e. specify ``max-len: CONST - 1``) to reserve space for the terminating
+character so implementations should recognize such pattern.
+
+min-len
+~~~~~~~
+
+Similar to ``max-len`` but defines minimum length.

+==============================
+Netlink spec C code generation
+==============================
+
+This document describes how Netlink specifications are used to render
+C code (uAPI, policies etc.). It also defines the additional properties
+allowed in older families by the ``genetlink-c`` protocol level,
+to control the naming.
+
+For brevity this document refers to ``name`` properties of various
+objects by the object type. For example ``$attr`` is the value
+of ``name`` in an attribute, and ``$family`` is the name of the
+family (the global ``name`` property).
+
+The upper case is used to denote literal values, e.g. ``$family-CMD``
+means the concatenation of ``$family``, a dash character, and the literal
+``CMD``.
+
+The names of ``#defines`` and enum values are always converted to upper case,
+and with dashes (``-``) replaced by underscores (``_``).
+
+If the constructed name is a C keyword, an extra underscore is
+appended (``do`` -> ``do_``).
+
+Globals
+=======
+
+``c-family-name`` controls the name of the ``#define`` for the family
+name, default is ``$family-FAMILY-NAME``.
+
+``c-version-name`` controls the name of the ``#define`` for the version
+of the family, default is ``$family-FAMILY-VERSION``.
+
+``max-by-define`` selects if max values for enums are defined as a
+``#define`` rather than inside the enum.
+
+Definitions
+===========
+
+Constants
+---------
+
+Every constant is rendered as a ``#define``.
+The name of the constant is ``$family-$constant`` and the value
+is rendered as a string or integer according to its type in the spec.
+
+Enums and flags
+---------------
+
+Enums are named ``$family-$enum``. The full name can be set directly
+or suppressed by specifying the ``enum-name`` property.
+Default entry name is ``$family-$enum-$entry``.
+If ``name-prefix`` is specified it replaces the ``$family-$enum``
+portion of the entry name.
+
+Boolean ``render-max`` controls creation of the max values
+(which are enabled by default for attribute enums).
+
+Attributes
+==========
+
+Each attribute set (excluding fractional sets) is rendered as an enum.
+
+Attribute enums are traditionally unnamed in netlink headers.
+If naming is desired ``enum-name`` can be used to specify the name.
+
+The default attribute name prefix is ``$family-A`` if the name of the set
+is the same as the name of the family and ``$family-A-$set`` if the names
+differ. The prefix can be overridden by the ``name-prefix`` property of a set.
+The rest of the section will refer to the prefix as ``$pfx``.
+
+Attributes are named ``$pfx-$attribute``.
+
+Attribute enums end with two special values ``__$pfx-MAX`` and ``$pfx-MAX``
+which are used for sizing attribute tables.
+These two names can be specified directly with the ``attr-cnt-name``
+and ``attr-max-name`` properties respectively.
+
+If ``max-by-define`` is set to ``true`` at the global level ``attr-max-name``
+will be specified as a ``#define`` rather than an enum value.
+
+Operations
+==========
+
+Operations are named ``$family-CMD-$operation``.
+If ``name-prefix`` is specified it replaces the ``$family-CMD``
+portion of the name.
+
+Similarly to attribute enums operation enums end with special count and max
+attributes. For operations those attributes can be renamed with
+``cmd-cnt-name`` and ``cmd-max-name``. Max will be a define if ``max-by-define``
+is ``true``.
+
+Multicast groups
+================
+
+Each multicast group gets a define rendered into the kernel uAPI header.
+The name of the define is ``$family-MCGRP-$group``, and can be overwritten
+with the ``c-define-name`` property.
+
+Code generation
+===============
+
+uAPI header is assumed to come from ``<linux/$family.h>`` in the default header
+search path. It can be changed using the ``uapi-header`` global property.

+Netlink specification support for legacy Generic Netlink families
+=================================================================
+
+This document describes the many additional quirks and properties
+required to describe older Generic Netlink families which form
+the ``genetlink-legacy`` protocol level.
+
+The spec is a work in progress, some of the quirks are just documented
+for future reference.
+
+Specification (defined)
+=======================
+
+Attribute type nests
+--------------------
+
+New Netlink families should use ``multi-attr`` to define arrays.
+Older families (e.g. ``genetlink`` control family) attempted to
+define array types reusing attribute type to carry information.
+
+For reference the ``multi-attr`` array may look like this::
+
+  [ARRAY-ATTR]
+    [INDEX (optionally)]
+    [MEMBER1]
+    [MEMBER2]
+  [SOME-OTHER-ATTR]
+  [ARRAY-ATTR]
+    [INDEX (optionally)]
+    [MEMBER1]
+    [MEMBER2]
+
+where ``ARRAY-ATTR`` is the array entry type.
+
+array-nest
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``array-nest`` creates the following structure::
+
+  [SOME-OTHER-ATTR]
+  [ARRAY-ATTR]
+    [ENTRY]
+      [MEMBER1]
+      [MEMBER2]
+    [ENTRY]
+      [MEMBER1]
+      [MEMBER2]
+
+It wraps the entire array in an extra attribute (hence limiting its size
+to 64kB). The ``ENTRY`` nests are special and have the index of the entry
+as their type instead of normal attribute type.
+
+type-value
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``type-value`` is a construct which uses attribute types to carry
+information about a single object (often used when array is dumped
+entry-by-entry).
+
+``type-value`` can have multiple levels of nesting, for example
+genetlink's policy dumps create the following structures::
+
+  [POLICY-IDX]
+    [ATTR-IDX]
+      [POLICY-INFO-ATTR1]
+      [POLICY-INFO-ATTR2]
+
+Where the first level of nest has the policy index as it's attribute
+type, it contains a single nest which has the attribute index as its
+type. Inside the attr-index nest are the policy attributes. Modern
+Netlink families should have instead defined this as a flat structure,
+the nesting serves no good purpose here.
+
+Other quirks (todo)
+===================
+
+Structures
+----------
+
+Legacy families can define C structures both to be used as the contents
+of an attribute and as a fixed message header. The plan is to define
+the structs in ``definitions`` and link the appropriate attrs.
+
+Multi-message DO
+----------------
+
+New Netlink families should never respond to a DO operation with multiple
+replies, with ``NLM_F_MULTI`` set. Use a filtered dump instead.
+
+At the spec level we can define a ``dumps`` property for the ``do``,
+perhaps with values of ``combine`` and ``multi-object`` depending
+on how the parsing should be implemented (parse into a single reply
+vs list of objects i.e. pretty much a dump).

+=========================================
+Netlink protocol specifications (in YAML)
+=========================================
+
+Netlink protocol specifications are complete, machine readable descriptions of
+Netlink protocols written in YAML. The goal of the specifications is to allow
+separating Netlink parsing from user space logic and minimize the amount of
+hand written Netlink code for each new family, command, attribute.
+Netlink specs should be complete and not depend on any other spec
+or C header file, making it easy to use in languages which can't include
+kernel headers directly.
+
+Internally kernel uses the YAML specs to generate:
+
+ - the C uAPI header
+ - documentation of the protocol as a ReST file
+ - policy tables for input attribute validation
+ - operation tables
+
+YAML specifications can be found under ``Documentation/netlink/specs/``
+
+Compatibility levels
+====================
+
+There are four schema levels for Netlink specs, from the simplest used
+by new families to the most complex covering all the quirks of the old ones.
+Each next level inherits the attributes of the previous level, meaning that
+user capable of parsing more complex ``genetlink`` schemas is also compatible
+with simpler ones. The levels are:
+
+ - ``genetlink`` - most streamlined, should be used by all new families
+ - ``genetlink-c`` - superset of ``genetlink`` with extra attributes allowing
+   customization of define and enum type and value names; this schema should
+   be equivalent to ``genetlink`` for all implementations which don't interact
+   directly with C uAPI headers
+ - ``genetlink-legacy`` - Generic Netlink catch all schema supporting quirks of
+   all old genetlink families, strange attribute formats, binary structures etc.
+ - ``netlink-raw`` - catch all schema supporting pre-Generic Netlink protocols
+   such as ``NETLINK_ROUTE``
+
+The definition of the schemas (in ``jsonschema``) can be found
+under ``Documentation/netlink/``.
+
+Schema structure
+================
+
+YAML schema has the following conceptual sections:
+
+ - globals
+ - definitions
+ - attributes
+ - operations
+ - multicast groups
+
+Most properties in the schema accept (or in fact require) a ``doc``
+sub-property documenting the defined object.
+
+The following sections describe the properties of the most modern ``genetlink``
+schema. See the documentation of :doc:`genetlink-c <c-code-gen>`
+for information on how C names are derived from name properties.
+
+genetlink
+=========
+
+Globals
+-------
+
+Attributes listed directly at the root level of the spec file.
+
+name
+~~~~
+
+Name of the family. Name identifies the family in a unique way, since
+the Family IDs are allocated dynamically.
+
+version
+~~~~~~~
+
+Generic Netlink family version, default is 1.
+
+protocol
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The schema level, default is ``genetlink``, which is the only value
+allowed for new ``genetlink`` families.
+
+definitions
+-----------
+
+Array of type and constant definitions.
+
+name
+~~~~
+
+Name of the type / constant.
+
+type
+~~~~
+
+One of the following types:
+
+ - const - a single, standalone constant
+ - enum - defines an integer enumeration, with values for each entry
+   incrementing by 1, (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3)
+ - flags - defines an integer enumeration, with values for each entry
+   occupying a bit, starting from bit 0, (e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8)
+
+value
+~~~~~
+
+The value for the ``const``.
+
+value-start
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The first value for ``enum`` and ``flags``, allows overriding the default
+start value of ``0`` (for ``enum``) and starting bit (for ``flags``).
+For ``flags`` ``value-start`` selects the starting bit, not the shifted value.
+
+Sparse enumerations are not supported.
+
+entries
+~~~~~~~
+
+Array of names of the entries for ``enum`` and ``flags``.
+
+header
+~~~~~~
+
+For C-compatible languages, header which already defines this value.
+In case the definition is shared by multiple families (e.g. ``IFNAMSIZ``)
+code generators for C-compatible languages may prefer to add an appropriate
+include instead of rendering a new definition.
+
+attribute-sets
+--------------
+
+This property contains information about netlink attributes of the family.
+All families have at least one attribute set, most have multiple.
+``attribute-sets`` is an array, with each entry describing a single set.
+
+Note that the spec is "flattened" and is not meant to visually resemble
+the format of the netlink messages (unlike certain ad-hoc documentation
+formats seen in kernel comments). In the spec subordinate attribute sets
+are not defined inline as a nest, but defined in a separate attribute set
+referred to with a ``nested-attributes`` property of the container.
+
+Spec may also contain fractional sets - sets which contain a ``subset-of``
+property. Such sets describe a section of a full set, allowing narrowing down
+which attributes are allowed in a nest or refining the validation criteria.
+Fractional sets can only be used in nests. They are not rendered to the uAPI
+in any fashion.
+
+name
+~~~~
+
+Uniquely identifies the attribute set, operations and nested attributes
+refer to the sets by the ``name``.
+
+subset-of
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Re-defines a portion of another set (a fractional set).
+Allows narrowing down fields and changing validation criteria
+or even types of attributes depending on the nest in which they
+are contained. The ``value`` of each attribute in the fractional
+set is implicitly the same as in the main set.
+
+attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+List of attributes in the set.
+
+Attribute properties
+--------------------
+
+name
+~~~~
+
+Identifies the attribute, unique within the set.
+
+type
+~~~~
+
+Netlink attribute type, see :ref:`attr_types`.
+
+.. _assign_val:
+
+value
+~~~~~
+
+Numerical attribute ID, used in serialized Netlink messages.
+The ``value`` property can be skipped, in which case the attribute ID
+will be the value of the previous attribute plus one (recursively)
+and ``0`` for the first attribute in the attribute set.
+
+Note that the ``value`` of an attribute is defined only in its main set.
+
+enum
+~~~~
+
+For integer types specifies that values in the attribute belong
+to an ``enum`` or ``flags`` from the ``definitions`` section.
+
+enum-as-flags
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Treat ``enum`` as ``flags`` regardless of its type in ``definitions``.
+When both ``enum`` and ``flags`` forms are needed ``definitions`` should
+contain an ``enum`` and attributes which need the ``flags`` form should
+use this attribute.
+
+nested-attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Identifies the attribute space for attributes nested within given attribute.
+Only valid for complex attributes which may have sub-attributes.
+
+multi-attr (arrays)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Boolean property signifying that the attribute may be present multiple times.
+Allowing an attribute to repeat is the recommended way of implementing arrays
+(no extra nesting).
+
+byte-order
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For integer types specifies attribute byte order - ``little-endian``
+or ``big-endian``.
+
+checks
+~~~~~~
+
+Input validation constraints used by the kernel. User space should query
+the policy of the running kernel using Generic Netlink introspection,
+rather than depend on what is specified in the spec file.
+
+The validation policy in the kernel is formed by combining the type
+definition (``type`` and ``nested-attributes``) and the ``checks``.
+
+operations
+----------
+
+This section describes messages passed between the kernel and the user space.
+There are three types of entries in this section - operations, notifications
+and events.
+
+Operations describe the most common request - response communication. User
+sends a request and kernel replies. Each operation may contain any combination
+of the two modes familiar to netlink users - ``do`` and ``dump``.
+``do`` and ``dump`` in turn contain a combination of ``request`` and
+``response`` properties. If no explicit message with attributes is passed
+in a given direction (e.g. a ``dump`` which does not accept filter, or a ``do``
+of a SET operation to which the kernel responds with just the netlink error
+code) ``request`` or ``response`` section can be skipped.
+``request`` and ``response`` sections list the attributes allowed in a message.
+The list contains only the names of attributes from a set referred
+to by the ``attribute-set`` property.
+
+Notifications and events both refer to the asynchronous messages sent by
+the kernel to members of a multicast group. The difference between the
+two is that a notification shares its contents with a GET operation
+(the name of the GET operation is specified in the ``notify`` property).
+This arrangement is commonly used for notifications about
+objects where the notification carries the full object definition.
+
+Events are more focused and carry only a subset of information rather than full
+object state (a made up example would be a link state change event with just
+the interface name and the new link state). Events contain the ``event``
+property. Events are considered less idiomatic for netlink and notifications
+should be preferred.
+
+list
+~~~~
+
+The only property of ``operations`` for ``genetlink``, holds the list of
+operations, notifications etc.
+
+Operation properties
+--------------------
+
+name
+~~~~
+
+Identifies the operation.
+
+value
+~~~~~
+
+Numerical message ID, used in serialized Netlink messages.
+The same enumeration rules are applied as to
+:ref:`attribute values<assign_val>`.
+
+attribute-set
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Specifies the attribute set contained within the message.
+
+do
+~~~
+
+Specification for the ``doit`` request. Should contain ``request``, ``reply``
+or both of these properties, each holding a :ref:`attr_list`.
+
+dump
+~~~~
+
+Specification for the ``dumpit`` request. Should contain ``request``, ``reply``
+or both of these properties, each holding a :ref:`attr_list`.
+
+notify
+~~~~~~
+
+Designates the message as a notification. Contains the name of the operation
+(possibly the same as the operation holding this property) which shares
+the contents with the notification (``do``).
+
+event
+~~~~~
+
+Specification of attributes in the event, holds a :ref:`attr_list`.
+``event`` property is mutually exclusive with ``notify``.
+
+mcgrp
+~~~~~
+
+Used with ``event`` and ``notify``, specifies which multicast group
+message belongs to.
+
+.. _attr_list:
+
+Message attribute list
+----------------------
+
+``request``, ``reply`` and ``event`` properties have a single ``attributes``
+property which holds the list of attribute names.
+
+Messages can also define ``pre`` and ``post`` properties which will be rendered
+as ``pre_doit`` and ``post_doit`` calls in the kernel (these properties should
+be ignored by user space).
+
+mcast-groups
+------------
+
+This section lists the multicast groups of the family.
+
+list
+~~~~
+
+The only property of ``mcast-groups`` for ``genetlink``, holds the list
+of groups.
+
+Multicast group properties
+--------------------------
+
+name
+~~~~
+
+Uniquely identifies the multicast group in the family. Similarly to
+Family ID, Multicast Group ID needs to be resolved at runtime, based
+on the name.
+
+.. _attr_types:
+
+Attribute types
+===============
+
+This section describes the attribute types supported by the ``genetlink``
+compatibility level. Refer to documentation of different levels for additional
+attribute types.
+
+Scalar integer types
+--------------------
+
+Fixed-width integer types:
+``u8``, ``u16``, ``u32``, ``u64``, ``s8``, ``s16``, ``s32``, ``s64``.
+
+Note that types smaller than 32 bit should be avoided as using them
+does not save any memory in Netlink messages (due to alignment).
+See :ref:`pad_type` for padding of 64 bit attributes.
+
+The payload of the attribute is the integer in host order unless ``byte-order``
+specifies otherwise.
+
+.. _pad_type:
+
+pad
+---
+
+Special attribute type used for padding attributes which require alignment
+bigger than standard 4B alignment required by netlink (e.g. 64 bit integers).
+There can only be a single attribute of the ``pad`` type in any attribute set
+and it should be automatically used for padding when needed.
+
+flag
+----
+
+Attribute with no payload, its presence is the entire information.
+
+binary
+------
+
+Raw binary data attribute, the contents are opaque to generic code.
+
+string
+------
+
+Character string. Unless ``checks`` has ``unterminated-ok`` set to ``true``
+the string is required to be null terminated.
+``max-len`` in ``checks`` indicates the longest possible string,
+if not present the length of the string is unbounded.
+
+Note that ``max-len`` does not count the terminating character.
+
+nest
+----
+
+Attribute containing other (nested) attributes.
+``nested-attributes`` specifies which attribute set is used inside.

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.

I did not manage to get the if to work. I works like a charm at the
level where the property in the condition is defined, but we also
want to allow additional properties deeper in the structure
depending on a value of a global property.

v4:
 - fix the $id and $schema
 - use "dependencies" to select only one of subset-of or name-prefix
 - adjust the format of enums everywhere (spaces after/before brackets)
 - add min value of integers where it makes sense
 - add some $defs for lengths and unsigned int
 - improve the pattern for lengths
 - fix spelling

Code generators to turn Netlink specs into C code.
I'm definitely not proud of it.

The main generator is in Python, there's a bash script
to regen all code-gen'ed files in tree after making
spec changes.

v2: - use /* */ comments instead of //
v4:
 - remove unnecessary f-strings
 - use get(, default)
 - improve exception for unsupported checks
 - remove empty __init__
 - (more) consistently use ternary / inline ifs
 - use c_upper() / c_lower() everywhere
 - rename c_kw -> _C_KW
 - actually use /* */ comments

Regenerate the FOU uAPI header from the YAML spec.

The flags now come before attributes which use them,
and the comments for type disappear (coders should look
at the spec instead).

We'll need to link two objects together to form the fou module.
This means the source can't be called fou, the build system expects
fou.o to be the combined object.

A little bit of renaming is needed in the FOU code.

Add a CLI sample which can take in arbitrary request
in JSON format, convert it to Netlink and do the inverse
for output.

It's meant as a development tool primarily and perhaps
for selftests which need to tickle netlink in a special way.

My understanding is that there is agreement on this, so merging as-is.

As possible follow-ups, I think it would be nice to drop the generated
files from the source tree and instead trigger the re-generation on-
demand. Additionally the yaml files could include an SPDX-License-
Identifier in an initial comments, I think.

Thanks,

Paolo

p.s. I guess we have new todo item for the mptcp protocol ;)

Sorry I missed the whole history of this topic. Wanted to ask: if we can
generate these headers and even C files, why ship the generated with the
source code and not generate them during building? Or it's slow and/or
requires some software etc.?

Currently it requires python 3 (3.6+, I'd think?).

Python is currently not documented as a build requirement in
Documentation/process/changes.rst afaict.

Yes, I wanted to avoid bundling in changes which could be controversial.
Whether code is generated during build or committed is something we can
revisit at any point.

+, got it, thanks!

The only reason I asked is that I was hoping it would allow us to remove
a couple thousand locs because why not :D
At least the atomic functions are designed the same way (the tree has
the generated code committed/included), so it's totally fine.

I like what this series and the idea in general does, thanks!
