2025-01-09tools: ynl: move python code to separate sub-directoryJan Stancek
Move python code to a separate directory so it can be packaged as a python module. Updates existing references in selftests and docs. Also rename ynl-gen-[c|rst] to ynl_gen_[c|rst], avoid dashes as these prevent easy imports for entrypoints.

2024-11-14tools/net/ynl: add async notification handlingDonald Hunter
The notification handling in ynl is currently very simple, using sleep() to wait a period of time and then handling all the buffered messages in a single batch. This patch adds async notification handling so that messages can be processed as they are received. This makes it possible to use ynl as a library that supplies notifications in a timely manner. - Add poll_ntf() to be a generator that yields 1 notification at a time and blocks until a notification is available. - Add a --duration parameter to the CLI, with --sleep as an alias. ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \ --spec <SPEC> --subscribe <TOPIC> [ --duration <SECS> ] The cli will report any notifications for duration seconds and then exit. If duration is not specified, then it will poll forever, until interrupted. Here is an example python snippet that shows how to use ynl as a library for receiving notifications: ynl = YnlFamily(f"{dir}/rt_route.yaml") ynl.ntf_subscribe('rtnlgrp-ipv4-route') for event in ynl.poll_ntf(): handle(event) Signed-off-by: Donald Hunter <donald.hunter@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241113090843.72917-3-donald.hunter@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2024-11-14Revert "tools/net/ynl: improve async notification handling"Donald Hunter
This reverts commit 1bf70e6c3a5346966c25e0a1ff492945b25d3f80. This modification to check_ntf() is being reverted so that its behaviour remains equivalent to ynl_ntf_check() in the C YNL. Instead a new poll_ntf() will be added in a separate patch.

I often forget the exact naming of ops and have to look at the spec to find it. Add support for listing the operations: $ ./cli.py --spec .../netdev.yaml --list-ops dev-get [ do, dump ] page-pool-get [ do, dump ] page-pool-stats-get [ do, dump ] queue-get [ do, dump ] napi-get [ do, dump ] qstats-get [ dump ] For completeness also support listing all ops (including notifications: # ./cli.py --spec .../netdev.yaml --list-msgs dev-get [ dump, do ] dev-add-ntf [ notify ] dev-del-ntf [ notify ] dev-change-ntf [ notify ] page-pool-get [ dump, do ] page-pool-add-ntf [ notify ] page-pool-del-ntf [ notify ] page-pool-change-ntf [ notify ] page-pool-stats-get [ dump, do ] queue-get [ dump, do ] napi-get [ dump, do ] qstats-get [ dump ] Use double space after the name for slightly easier to read output.

2024-04-22tools/net/ynl: Add multi message support to ynlDonald Hunter
Add a "--multi <do-op> <json>" command line to ynl that makes it possible to add several operations to a single netlink request payload. The --multi command line option is repeated for each operation. This is used by the nftables family for transaction batches. For example: ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \ --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/nftables.yaml \ --multi batch-begin '{"res-id": 10}' \ --multi newtable '{"name": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \ --multi newchain '{"name": "chain", "table": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \ --multi batch-end '{"res-id": 10}' [None, None, None, None] It can also be used for bundling get requests: ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \ --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/nftables.yaml \ --multi gettable '{"name": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \ --multi getchain '{"name": "chain", "table": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \ --output-json [{"name": "test", "use": 1, "handle": 1, "flags": [], "nfgen-family": 1, "version": 0, "res-id": 2}, {"table": "test", "name": "chain", "handle": 1, "use": 0, "nfgen-family": 1, "version": 0, "res-id": 2}] Signed-off-by: Donald Hunter <donald.hunter@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240418104737.77914-4-donald.hunter@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

ynl does not handle NlError exceptions so they get reported like program failures. Handle the NlError exceptions and report the netlink errors more cleanly.

2024-03-06tools: ynl: add --dbg-small-recv for easier kernel testingJakub Kicinski
Most "production" netlink clients use large buffers to make dump efficient, which means that handling of dump continuation in the kernel is not very well tested. Add an option for debugging / testing handling of dumps. It enables printing of extra netlink-level debug and lowers the recv() buffer size in one go. When used without any argument (--dbg-small-recv) it picks a very small default (4000), explicit size can be set, too (--dbg-small-recv 5000). Example: $ ./cli.py [...] --dbg-small-recv Recv: read 3712 bytes, 29 messages nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19 [...] nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19 Recv: read 3968 bytes, 31 messages nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19 [...] nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19 Recv: read 532 bytes, 5 messages nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19 [...] nl_len = 128 (112) nl_flags = 0x0 nl_type = 19 nl_len = 20 (4) nl_flags = 0x2 nl_type = 3 (the [...] are edits to shorten the commit message). Note that the first message of the dump is sized conservatively by the kernel.

2023-03-07ynl: re-license uniformly under GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-ClauseJakub Kicinski
I was intending to make all the Netlink Spec code BSD-3-Clause to ease the adoption but it appears that: - I fumbled the uAPI and used "GPL WITH uAPI note" there - it gives people pause as they expect GPL in the kernel As suggested by Chuck re-license under dual. This gives us benefit of full BSD freedom while fulfilling the broad "kernel is under GPL" expectations.

2023-01-31tools: ynl: use operation names from spec on the CLIJakub Kicinski
When I wrote the first version of the Python code I was quite excited that we can generate class methods directly from the spec. Unfortunately we need to use valid identifiers for method names (specifically no dashes are allowed). Don't reuse those names on the CLI, it's much more natural to use the operation names exactly as listed in the spec.
