[PATCH net-next 0/3] tools: ynl-gen: split presence metadata

[Jakub Kicinski]

The presence metadata indicates whether given attribute was/should be
added to the Netlink message. We have 3 types of such metadata:
 - bit presence for simple values like integers,
 - len presence for variable size attrs, like binary and strings,
 - count for arrays.

Previously this information was spread around with first two types
living in a dedicated sub-struct called _present. The counts resided
directly in the main struct with an n_ prefix.

Reshuffle these an uniformly store them in dedicated sub-structs.
The immediate motivation is that current scheme causes name collisions
for TC.

[PATCH net-next 1/3] tools: ynl-gen: rename basic presence from 'bit' to 'present'

[Jakub Kicinski]

Internal change to the code gen. Rename how we indicate a type
has a single bit presence from using a 'bit' string to 'present'.
This is a noop in terms of generated code but will make next
breaking change easier.

[PATCH net-next 2/3] tools: ynl-gen: split presence metadata

[Jakub Kicinski]

Each YNL struct contains the data and a sub-struct indicating which
fields are valid. Something like:

  struct family_op_req {
      struct {
            u32 a:1;
            u32 b:1;
	    u32 bin_len;
      } _present;

      u32 a;
      u64 b;
      const unsigned char *bin;
  };

Note that the bin object 'bin' has a length stored, and that length
has a _len suffix added to the field name. This breaks if there
is a explicit field called bin_len, which is the case for some
TC actions. Move the length fields out of the _present struct,
create a new struct called _len:

  struct family_op_req {
      struct {
            u32 a:1;
            u32 b:1;
      } _present;
      struct {
	    u32 bin;
      } _len;

      u32 a;
      u64 b;
      const unsigned char *bin;
  };

This should prevent name collisions and help with the packing
of the struct.

Unfortunately this is a breaking change, but hopefully the migration
isn't too painful.

Can this go a few lines higher and replace:

             presence = f"{var}->{'.'.join(ref[:i] + [''])}_present.{ref[i]}"

Since self.presence_type() would always return the correct string,
including "_present"?

Hm, I don't think so. This is some of the gnarliest code the codegen
has, but it tries to generate something like:

	req->_present.options = 1;
	req->options._present.cgroup = 1;
	req->options.cgroup._count.act = n_act;

We have a nested member called "act". It's two nesting layers deep
inside the requests. We need to mark the "act" as present, but also
all parent nests as present. The nests always have presence type
of "present" (that's why its hardcoded at the start of the loop).
Last layer is the "real" presence type of the attribute, so we use
self.presence_type().

[PATCH net-next 3/3] tools: ynl-gen: move the count into a presence struct too

[Jakub Kicinski]

While we reshuffle the presence members, move the counts as well.
Previously array count members would have been place directly in
the struct, so:

  struct family_op_req {
      struct {
            u32 a:1;
            u32 b:1;
      } _present;
      struct {
            u32 bin;
      } _len;

      u32 a;
      u64 b;
      const unsigned char *bin;
      u32 n_multi;                 << count
      u32 *multi;                  << objects
  };

Since len has been moved to its own presence struct move the count
as well:

  struct family_op_req {
      struct {
            u32 a:1;
            u32 b:1;
      } _present;
      struct {
            u32 bin;
      } _len;
      struct {
            u32 multi;             << count
      } _count;

      u32 a;
      u64 b;
      const unsigned char *bin;
      u32 *multi;                  << objects
  };

This improves the consistency and allows us to remove some hacks
in the codegen. Unlike for len there is no known name collision
with the existing scheme.
