[v3] Add OVS packet family YNL spec and unicast notification support

[PATCH net-next v3 0/2] Add OVS packet family YNL spec and unicast notification support

Posted by Minxi Hou 5 days, 14 hours ago

This series adds a YAML netlink spec for the OVS_PACKET_FAMILY genetlink
family and a bind-only ntf_listen() helper for receiving unicast
notifications.

Changes in v3:
- patch 1: add missing document start "---" after SPDX comment
  (yamllint warning in v2)

Changes in v2:
- patch 1: use YAML anchor (&event-attrs / *event-attrs) to avoid
  repeating the same attribute list for miss and action events
  (suggested by Donald Hunter)
- patch 1: fix enum-name from ovs-packet-attrs to ovs-packet-attr
  to match the kernel enum name ovs_packet_attr
- patch 2: add ntf_listen() to the YnlFamily docstring under the
  "Notification API" heading (suggested by Donald Hunter)

Sorry for the noise. I sent v3 too early. I mistakenly assumed that
overrode the 24-hour rule. I won't do it again.
