This series adds a ynl spec for nftables and extends ynl with a --multi command line option that makes it possible to send transactional batches for nftables. This series includes a patch for nfnetlink which adds ACK processing for batch begin/end messages. If you'd prefer that to be sent separately to nf-next then I can do so, but I included it here so that it gets seen in context. An example of usage is: ./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}] There are 2 issues that may be worth resolving: - ynl reports errors by raising an NlError exception so only the first error gets reported. This could be changed to add errors to the list of responses so that multiple errors could be reported. - If any message does not get a response (e.g. batch-begin w/o patch 2) then ynl waits indefinitely. A recv timeout could be added which would allow ynl to terminate. v3 -> v4: - fix the underlying extack decoding bug and drop the workaround patch v2 -> v3: - update the ynl multi code to match the latest return value semantics of ynl - add a ynl patch to handle acks that use req_value - update the nfnetlink patch based on feedback from Pablo - move nfnetlink patch to end of series v1 -> v2: - add a patch to nfnetlink to process ACKs for batch begin/end - handle multiple responses correctly Donald Hunter (4): doc/netlink/specs: Add draft nftables spec tools/net/ynl: Fix extack decoding for directional ops tools/net/ynl: Add multi message support to ynl netfilter: nfnetlink: Handle ACK flags for batch messages Documentation/netlink/specs/nftables.yaml | 1264 +++++++++++++++++++++ net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c | 5 + tools/net/ynl/cli.py | 25 +- tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py | 82 +- 4 files changed, 1346 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/netlink/specs/nftables.yaml
