[patch net-next 00/10] net: genetlink: parse attrs for dumpit() callback

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

In generic netlink, parsing attributes for doit() callback is already
implemented. They are available in info->attrs.

For dumpit() however, each user which is interested in attributes have to
parse it manually. Even though the attributes may be (depending on flag)
already validated (by parse function).

Make usage of attributes in dumpit() more convenient and prepare
info->attrs too.

Patchset also make the existing users of genl_family_attrbuf() converted
to use info->attrs and removes the helper.

Jiri Pirko (10):
  net: genetlink: push doit/dumpit code from genl_family_rcv_msg
  net: genetlink: introduce dump info struct to be available during
    dumpit op
  net: genetlink: push attrbuf allocation and parsing to a separate
    function
  net: genetlink: parse attrs and store in contect info struct during
    dumpit
  net: ieee802154: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
  net: nfc: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
  net: tipc: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
  net: tipc: allocate attrs locally instead of using genl_family_attrbuf
    in compat_dumpit()
  net: genetlink: remove unused genl_family_attrbuf()
  devlink: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit

[patch net-next 01/10] net: genetlink: push doit/dumpit code from genl_family_rcv_msg

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

Currently the function genl_family_rcv_msg() is quite big. Since it is
quite convenient, push code that is related to doit and dumpit ops into
separate functions.

Do small changes on the way, like rc/err unification, NULL check etc.

[patch net-next 02/10] net: genetlink: introduce dump info struct to be available during dumpit op

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

Currently the cb->data is taken by ops during non-parallel dumping.
Introduce a new structure genl_dumpit_info and store the ops there.
Distribute the info to both non-parallel and parallel dumping. Also add
a helper genl_dumpit_info() to easily get the info structure in the
dumpit callback from cb.

[patch net-next 03/10] net: genetlink: push attrbuf allocation and parsing to a separate function

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

To be re-usable by dumpit as well, push the code that is taking care of
attrbuf allocation and parting from doit into separate function.
Introduce a helper to free the buffer too.

Check family->maxattr too before calling kfree() to be symmetrical with
the allocation check.

[patch net-next 04/10] net: genetlink: parse attrs and store in contect info struct during dumpit

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

Extend the dumpit info struct for attrs. Instead of existing attribute
validation do parse them and save in the info struct. Caller can benefit
from this and does not have to do parse itself. In order to properly
free attrs, genl_family pointer needs to be added to dumpit info struct
as well.
