Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 8/9] netlink: specs: devlink: add pad to the subsets carrying padded u64s
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:13:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915161341.1053476-9-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915161341.1053476-1-kuba@kernel.org>
We are missing the pad attribute in a number of subsets.
Worse, dl-attr-stats which is a separate attr space doesn't
define pad, but reuses the value from the root attr set
(DEVLINK_ATTR_PAD). This would break parsing stats on
an arch without CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.
