devlink: Migrate from info->user_ptr to info->ctx

2026-07-07T09:31:26+00:00

Replace deprecated info->user_ptr[0]/[1] with a typed devlink_nl_ctx struct stored in info->ctx. The struct aliases the same union memory, so the migration is safe. There are no functionality changes here.

devlink: allow devlink instance allocation without a backing device

2026-03-14T20:08:49+00:00

Allow devlink_alloc_ns() to be called with dev=NULL to support device-less devlink instances. When dev is NULL, the instance is identified over netlink using "devlink_index" as bus_name and the decimal index value as dev_name.

devlink: Refactor devlink_rate_nodes_check

2026-02-03T04:05:51+00:00

devlink_rate_nodes_check() was used to verify there are no devlink rate nodes created when switching the esw mode. Rate management code is about to become more complex, so refactor this function: - remove unused param 'mode'. - add a new 'rate_filter' param. - rename to devlink_rates_check(). - expose devlink_rate_is_node() to be used as a rate filter. This makes it more usable from multiple places, so use it from those places as well.

net: convert to nla_get_*_default()

2024-11-11T18:32:06+00:00

Most of the original conversion is from the spatch below, but I edited some and left out other instances that were either buggy after conversion (where default values don't fit into the type) or just looked strange. @@ expression attr, def; expression val; identifier fn =~ "^nla_get_.*"; fresh identifier dfn = fn ## "_default"; @@ ( -if (attr) - val = fn(attr); -else - val = def; +val = dfn(attr, def); | -if (!attr) - val = def; -else - val = fn(attr); +val = dfn(attr, def); | -if (!attr) - return def; -return fn(attr); +return dfn(attr, def); | -attr ? fn(attr) : def +dfn(attr, def) | -!attr ? def : fn(attr) +dfn(attr, def) ) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Reviewed-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241108114145.0580b8684e7f.I740beeaa2f70ebfc19bfca1045a24d6151992790@changeid Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

netlink: add nlmsg_consume() and use it in devlink compat

2024-04-06T17:20:14+00:00

devlink_compat_running_version() sticks out when running netdevsim tests and watching dropped skbs. Add nlmsg_consume() for cases were we want to free a netlink skb but it is expected, rather than a drop. af_netlink code uses consume_skb() directly, which is fine, but some may prefer the symmetry of nlmsg_new() / nlmsg_consume().

netlink: introduce type-checking attribute iteration

2024-03-29T22:06:02+00:00

There are, especially with multi-attr arrays, many cases of needing to iterate all attributes of a specific type in a netlink message or a nested attribute. Add specific macros to support that case. Also convert many instances using this spatch: @@ iterator nla_for_each_attr; iterator name nla_for_each_attr_type; identifier nla; expression head, len, rem; expression ATTR; type T; identifier x; @@ -nla_for_each_attr(nla, head, len, rem) +nla_for_each_attr_type(nla, ATTR, head, len, rem) { <...
