Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/8] netlink: add schemas for YAML specs
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2023 16:36:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230119003613.111778-3-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230119003613.111778-1-kuba@kernel.org>
Add schemas for Netlink spec files. As described in the docs
we have 4 "protocols" or compatibility levels, and each one
comes with its own schema, but the more general / legacy
schemas are superset of more modern ones: genetlink is
the smallest followed by genetlink-c and genetlink-legacy.
There is no schema for raw netlink, yet, I haven't found the time..
I don't know enough jsonschema to do inheritance or something
but the repetition is not too bad. I hope.
