We keep expanding ethtool netlink api surface and this leads to
constantly playing catchup on the ynl spec side. There are a couple
of things that prevent us from fully converting to generating
the header from the spec (stats and cable tests), but we can
generate 95% of the header which is still better than maintaining
c header and spec separately. The series adds a couple of missing
features on the ynl-gen-c side and separates the parts
that we can generate into new ethtool_netlink_generated.h.
v2:
- attr-cnt-name -> enum-cnt-name (Jakub)
- add enum-cnt-name documentation (Jakub)
- __ETHTOOL_XXX_CNT -> __ethtool-xxx-cnt + c_upper (Jakub)
- keep and refine enum model check (Jakub)
- use 'header' presence as a signal to omit rendering instead of new
'render' property (Jakub)
- new patch to reverse the order of header dependencies in xxx-user.h
Stanislav Fomichev (8):
ynl: support enum-cnt-name attribute in legacy definitions
ynl: skip rendering attributes with header property in uapi mode
ynl: support directional specs in ynl-gen-c.py
ynl: add missing pieces to ethtool spec to better match uapi header
ynl: include uapi header after all dependencies
ethtool: separate definitions that are gonna be generated
ethtool: remove the comments that are not gonna be generated
ethtool: regenerate uapi header from the spec
