Subject: [PATCH net-next 7/8] netlink: specs: devlink: describe the netns id in the parent-dev nest
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 13:03:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910200312.2665792-8-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910200312.2665792-1-kuba@kernel.org>
devlink_nl_rate_parent_fill() emits DEVLINK_ATTR_PARENT_DEV via
devlink_nl_put_nested_handle(), which adds DEVLINK_ATTR_NETNS_ID
whenever the parent rate node lives on a devlink instance in another
netns. Now that we defined dl-nested-devlink subset, which unlike
dl-parent-dev includes netns-id, let's switch to it. The rate APIs
input genuinely does not accept the netns-id, so we need to subset
them to stick with dl-parent-dev.
