Jakub Kicinski b784db7ae8 netlink: specs: add partial specification for ethtool
Ethtool is one of the most actively developed families.
With the changes to the CLI it should be possible to use
the YNL based code for easy prototyping and development.
Add a partial family definition. I've tested the string
set and rings. I don't have any MAC Merge implementation
to test with, but I added the definition for it, anyway,
because it's last. New commands can simply be added at
the end without having to worry about manually providing
IDs / values.

Set (with notification support - None is the response,
the data is from the notification):

$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
    --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/ethtool.yaml \
    --do rings-set \
    --json '{"header":{"dev-name":"enp0s31f6"}, "rx":129}' \
    --subscribe monitor
None
[{'msg': {'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'enp0s31f6'},
          'rx': 136,
          'rx-max': 4096,
          'tx': 256,
          'tx-max': 4096,
          'tx-push': 0},
  'name': 'rings-ntf'}]

Do / dump (yes, the kernel requires that even for dump and even
if empty - the "header" nest must be there):

$ ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
    --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/ethtool.yaml \
    --do rings-get \
    --json '{"header":{"dev-index": 2}}'
{'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'enp0s31f6'},
 'rx': 136,
 'rx-max': 4096,
 'tx': 256,
 'tx-max': 4096,
 'tx-push': 0}

$ ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
    --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/ethtool.yaml \
    --dump rings-get \
    --json '{"header":{}}'
[{'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'enp0s31f6'},
  'rx': 136,
  'rx-max': 4096,
  'tx': 256,
  'tx-max': 4096,
  'tx-push': 0},
 {'header': {'dev-index': 3, 'dev-name': 'wlp0s20f3'}, 'tx-push': 0},
 {'header': {'dev-index': 19, 'dev-name': 'enp58s0u1u1'},
  'rx': 100,
  'rx-max': 4096,
  'tx-push': 0}]

And error reporting:

$ ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
    --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/ethtool.yaml \
    --dump rings-get \
    --json '{"header":{"flags":5}}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
	error: -22	extack: {'msg': 'reserved bit set',
	                         'bad-attr-offs': 24,
				 'bad-attr': '.header.flags'}
None

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 Restructured Text 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.
