[PATCH net-next v2 0/4] devlink: sanitize variable typed attributes

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

This is continuation based on first two patches
of https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250425214808.507732-1-saeed@kernel.org/

Better to take it as a separate patchset, as the rest of the original
patchset is probably settled.

This patchset is taking care of incorrect usage of internal NLA_* values
in uapi, introduces new enum (in patch #2) that shadows NLA_* values and
makes that part of UAPI.

The last two patches removes unnecessary translations with maintaining
clear devlink param driver api. I hope this might be acceptable.

Please check and merge to get this over with :)

Jiri Pirko (4):
  tools: ynl-gen: allow noncontiguous enums
  devlink: define enum for attr types of dynamic attributes
  devlink: avoid param type value translations
  devlink: use DEVLINK_VAR_ATTR_TYPE_* instead of NLA_* in fmsg

[PATCH net-next v2 1/4] tools: ynl-gen: allow noncontiguous enums

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

in case the enum has holes, instead of hard stop, generate a validation
callback to check valid enum values.

v1->v2:
- fixed min/max none check
- changed switch-case to fall-through with single return statement
- removed not needed special indentation treating
saeed's v3->v1:
- added validation callback generation

By some accident I managed to remove uppercases from this line. Should I
repost or would you fix this during apply in case there are no changes
requested?

Thanks!

No worries, I don't think it's a big deal as long as the email matches.
But I'll fix when applying.

[PATCH net-next v2 2/4] devlink: define enum for attr types of dynamic attributes

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

Devlink param and health reporter fmsg use attributes with dynamic type
which is determined according to a different type. Currently used values
are NLA_*. The problem is, they are not part of UAPI. They may change
which would cause a break.

To make this future safe, introduce a enum that shadows NLA_* values in
it and is part of UAPI.

Also, this allows to possibly carry types that are unrelated to NLA_*
values.

[PATCH net-next v2 3/4] devlink: avoid param type value translations

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

Assign DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_* enum values to DEVLINK_VAR_ATTR_TYPE_* to
ensure the same values are used internally and in UAPI. Benefit from
that by removing the value translations.

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

Use newly introduced DEVLINK_VAR_ATTR_TYPE_* enum values instead of
internal NLA_* in fmsg health reporter code.
