Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] netlink: specs: fou: link the type attribute to the encap-type enum
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 12:14:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904191412.3872344-4-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904191412.3872344-1-kuba@kernel.org>
The spec defines encap-type (unspec / direct / gue), but no attribute
references it, so the definition exists only to emit FOU_ENCAP_* into
the uAPI header - while FOU_ATTR_TYPE is exactly that value space:
fou_create() switches on FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT / FOU_ENCAP_GUE and returns
-EINVAL for anything else. Python YNL could not accept or display the
names and the generated C exposed a raw __u8 setter.
The global policy entry becomes NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 2). For add
that only moves the existing fou_create() rejection earlier; del and
get ignore FOU_ATTR_TYPE altogether, so a bogus type there now fails
validation instead of being dropped on the floor.
