Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== genetlink: provide struct genl_info to dumps One of the biggest (which is not to say only) annoyances with genetlink handling today is that doit and dumpit need some of the same information, but it is passed to them in completely different structs. The implementations commonly end up writing a _fill() method which populates a message and have to pass at least 6 parameters. 3 of which are extracted manually from request info. After a lot of umming and ahing I decided to populate struct genl_info for dumps, without trying to factor out only the common parts. This makes the adoption easiest. In the future we may add a new version of dump which takes struct genl_info *info as the second argument, instead of struct netlink_callback *cb. For now developers have to call genl_info_dump(cb) to get the info. Typical genetlink families no longer get exposed to netlink protocol internals like pid and seq numbers. v3: - correct the condition in ethtool code (patch 10) v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230810233845.2318049-1-kuba@kernel.org/ - replace the GENL_INFO_NTF() macro with init helper - fix the commit messages v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230809182648.1816537-1-kuba@kernel.org/ ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230814214723.2924989-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
