Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 0/2] Add OVS packet family YNL spec and unicast notification support
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 10:20:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521022002.879334-1-houminxi@gmail.com> (raw)

This series adds a YAML netlink spec for the OVS_PACKET_FAMILY genetlink
family and a bind-only ntf_bind() helper for receiving unicast
notifications.

Changes in v4:
- patch 2: rename ntf_listen() to ntf_bind(addr=(0, 0)); the name
  listen() was misleading since the operation is a bind(), and the
  address is now an explicit argument defaulting to (0, 0)
  (suggested by Jakub Kicinski)

Changes in v3:
- patch 1: add missing document start "---" after SPDX comment
  (yamllint warning in v2)

Changes in v2:
- patch 1: use YAML anchor (&event-attrs / *event-attrs) to avoid
  repeating the same attribute list for miss and action events
  (suggested by Donald Hunter)
- patch 1: fix enum-name from ovs-packet-attrs to ovs-packet-attr
  to match the kernel enum name ovs_packet_attr
- patch 2: add ntf_bind() to the YnlFamily docstring under the
  "Notification API" heading (suggested by Donald Hunter)
