Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/8] devlink: generate the port function policy from the spec
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 13:03:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910200312.2665792-6-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910200312.2665792-1-kuba@kernel.org>
devlink has a one huge root attribute set for the whole family,
we haven't taken the time to properly define the sub-sets for
each command. Do it for port-set so that we can drop the hand
written policy used by devlink_port_function_set().
We need this subsetting because within the DEVLINK_ATTR_PORT_FUNCTION
nest DEVLINK_PORT_FN_ATTR_OPSTATE and DEVLINK_PORT_FN_ATTR_DEVLINK
are output-only so we have to filter them out of the input set.
