Merge branch 'genetlink-per-op-policy-export'
Johannes Berg says: ==================== genetlink per-op policy export Here's a respin, now including Jakub's patch last so that it will do the right thing from the start. The first patch remains the same, of course; the others have mostly some rebasing going on, except for the actual export patch (patch 4) which is adjusted per Jakub's review comments about exporting the policy only if it's actually used for do/dump. To see that, the dump for "nlctrl" (i.e. the generic netlink control) is instructive, because the ops are this: { .cmd = CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY, .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT | GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP, .policy = ctrl_policy_family, .maxattr = ARRAY_SIZE(ctrl_policy_family) - 1, .doit = ctrl_getfamily, .dumpit = ctrl_dumpfamily, }, { .cmd = CTRL_CMD_GETPOLICY, .policy = ctrl_policy_policy, .maxattr = ARRAY_SIZE(ctrl_policy_policy) - 1, .start = ctrl_dumppolicy_start, .dumpit = ctrl_dumppolicy, .done = ctrl_dumppolicy_done, }, So we exercise both "don't have doit" and "GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP" parts, and get (with the current genl patch): $ genl ctrl policy name nlctrl ID: 0x10 op 3 policies: do=0 ID: 0x10 op 10 policies: dump=1 ID: 0x10 policy[0]:attr[1]: type=U16 range:[0,65535] ID: 0x10 policy[0]:attr[2]: type=NUL_STRING max len:15 ID: 0x10 policy[1]:attr[1]: type=U16 range:[0,65535] ID: 0x10 policy[1]:attr[2]: type=NUL_STRING max len:15 ID: 0x10 policy[1]:attr[10]: type=U32 range:[0,4294967295] ==================== Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
