For basic types we "flatten" setters. If a request "a" has a simple
nest "b" with value "val" we print helpers like:
req_set_a_b(struct a *req, int val)
{
req->_present.a = 1;
req->b._present.val = 1;
req->b.val = ...
}
This is not possible for multi-attr because they have to be allocated
dynamically by the user. Print "object level" setters so that user
preparing the object doesn't have to futz with the presence bits
and other YNL internals.
Add the ability to pass in the variable name to generated setters.
Using "req" here doesn't feel right, while the attr is part of a request
it's not the request itself, so it seems cleaner to call it "obj".
Example:
static inline void
netdev_queue_id_set_id(struct netdev_queue_id *obj, __u32 id)
{
obj->_present.id = 1;
obj->id = id;
}

In general YNL provides allocation and free helpers for types.
For pure nested structs which are used as multi-attr (and therefore
have to be allocated dynamically) we already print a free helper
as it's needed by free of the containing struct.
Add printing of the alloc helper for consistency. The helper
takes the number of entries to allocate as an argument, e.g.:
static inline struct netdev_queue_id *netdev_queue_id_alloc(unsigned int n)
{
return calloc(n, sizeof(struct netdev_queue_id));
}

The multi message support loosened the connection between the request
and response handling, as we can now submit multiple requests before
we start processing responses. Passing the attr set to NlMsgs decoding
no longer makes sense (if it ever did), attr set may differ message
by messsage. Isolate the part of decoding responsible for attr-set
specific interpretation and call it once we identified the correct op.
Without this fix performing SET operation on an ethtool socket, while
being subscribed to notifications causes:
# File "tools/net/ynl/pyynl/lib/ynl.py", line 1096, in _op
# Exception| return self._ops(ops)[0]

# Exception| nms = NlMsgs(reply, attr_space=op.attr_set)

The value of op we use on line 1040 is stale, it comes form the previous
loop. If a notification comes before a response we will update op to None
and the next iteration thru the loop will break with the trace above.

of nesting deeper than "kind". Teach the code-gen about structs

Because structs are "topologically sorted" one pass of propagating

11 Trying to delete a Netkit interface (ifindex 6)
Sample creates the device first, it sets an invalid value for a netkit
attribute to trigger reverse parsing. Line 4 shows the error with the
attribute path correctly generated by YNL.
Then sample fixes the bad attribute and re-issues the request, with
NLM_F_ECHO set. This flag causes the notification to be looped back
to the initiating socket (our socket). Sample parses this notification
to save the ifindex of the created netkit.
Sample then proceeds to list the devices. Line 8 above shows a dummy
device with two alt names. Lines 9 and 10 show the netkit devices
the sample itself created.
The "primary" and "policy" attrs are from inside the netkit submsg.
The string values are auto-generated for the enums by YNL.

Reverse parsing lets YNL convert bad and missing attr pointers
from extack into a string like "missing attribute nest1.nest2.attr_name".
It's a feature that's unique to YNL C AFAIU (even the Python YNL
can't do nested reverse parsing). Add support for reverse-parsing
of sub-messages.
To simplify the logic and the code annotate the type policies
with extra metadata. Mark the selectors and the messages with
the information we need. We assume that key / selector always
precedes the sub-message while parsing (and also if there are
multiple sub-messages like in rt-link they are interleaved
selector 1 ... submsg 1 ... selector 2 .. submsg 2, not
selector 1 ... selector 2 ... submsg 1 ... submsg 2).
The rt-link sample in a subsequent changes shows reverse parsing
of sub-messages in action.

Adjust parsing and rendering appropriately to make sub-messages work.
Rendering is pretty trivial, as the submsg -> netlink conversion looks
like rendering a nest in which only one attr was set. Only trick
is that we use the enum value of the sub-message rather than the nest
as the type, and effectively skip one layer of nesting. A real double
nested struct would look like this:
[SELECTOR]
[SUBMSG]
[NEST]
[MSG1-ATTR]
A submsg "is" the nest so by skipping I mean:
[SELECTOR]
[SUBMSG]
[MSG1-ATTR]
There is no extra validation in YNL if caller has set the selector
matching the submsg type (e.g. link type = "macvlan" but the nest
attrs are set to carry "veth"). Let the kernel handle that.
Parsing side is a little more specialized as we need to render and
insert a new kind of function which switches between what to parse
based on the selector. But code isn't too complicated.

While we reshuffle the presence members, move the counts as well.
Previously array count members would have been place directly in
the struct, so:
struct family_op_req {
struct {
u32 a:1;
u32 b:1;
} _present;
struct {
u32 bin;
} _len;
u32 a;
u64 b;
const unsigned char *bin;
u32 n_multi; << count
u32 *multi; << objects
};
Since len has been moved to its own presence struct move the count
as well:
struct family_op_req {
struct {
u32 a:1;
u32 b:1;
} _present;
struct {
u32 bin;
} _len;
struct {
u32 multi; << count
} _count;
u32 a;
u64 b;
const unsigned char *bin;
u32 *multi; << objects
};
This improves the consistency and allows us to remove some hacks
in the codegen. Unlike for len there is no known name collision
with the existing scheme.

Each YNL struct contains the data and a sub-struct indicating which
fields are valid. Something like:
struct family_op_req {
struct {
u32 a:1;
u32 b:1;
u32 bin_len;
} _present;
u32 a;
u64 b;
const unsigned char *bin;
};
Note that the bin object 'bin' has a length stored, and that length
has a _len suffix added to the field name. This breaks if there
is a explicit field called bin_len, which is the case for some
TC actions. Move the length fields out of the _present struct,
create a new struct called _len:
struct family_op_req {
struct {
u32 a:1;
u32 b:1;
} _present;
struct {
u32 bin;
} _len;
u32 a;
u64 b;
const unsigned char *bin;
};
This should prevent name collisions and help with the packing
of the struct.
Unfortunately this is a breaking change, but hopefully the migration
isn't too painful.

Allow CRUD-style notification where the notification is more
like the response to the request, which can optionally be
looped back onto the requesting socket. Since the notification
and request are different ops in the spec, for example:
-
name: delrule
doc: Remove an existing FIB rule
attribute-set: fib-rule-attrs
do:
request:
value: 33
attributes: *fib-rule-all
-
name: delrule-ntf
doc: Notify a rule deletion
value: 33
notify: getrule
We need to find the request by ID. Ideally we'd detect this model
from the spec properties, rather than assume that its what all
classic netlink families do. But maybe that'd cause this model
to spread and its easy to get wrong. For now assume CRUD == classic.

Classic Netlink has GET callbacks with no doit support, just dumps.
Support using their responses in notifications. If notification points
at a type which only has a dump - use the dump's type.

Classic netlink makes extensive use of flags. Support specifying
them the same way as attributes are specified (using a helper),
for example:
rt_link_newlink_req_set_nlflags(req, NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_ECHO);
Wrap the code up in a RenderInfo predicate. I think that some
genetlink families may want this, too. It should be easy to
add a spec property later.

The C codegen refers to op attribute lists all over the place,
without checking if they are present, even tho attribute list
is technically an optional property. Add them automatically
at init if missing so that we don't have to make specs longer.

Instead of walking the entries in the code gen add a method
for the struct class to return if any of the members need
an iterator.
