[PATCH net 0/2] netlink: specs: rt-link: decode ip6gre

[Jakub Kicinski]

Adding GRE tunnels to the .config for driver tests caused
some unhappiness in YNL, as it can't decode all the link
attrs on the system. Add ip6gre support to fix the tests.
This is similar to commit 6ffdbb93a59c ("netlink: specs:
rt_link: decode ip6tnl, vti and vti6 link attrs").

[PATCH net 1/2] netlink: specs: rt-link: add missing byte-order properties

[Jakub Kicinski]

A number of fields in the ip tunnels are lacking the big-endian
designation. I suspect this is not intentional, as decoding
the ports with the right endian seems objectively beneficial.

Fixes: 6ffdbb93a59c ("netlink: specs: rt_link: decode ip6tnl, vti and vti6 link attrs")
Fixes: 077b6022d24b ("doc/netlink/specs: Add sub-message type to rt_link family")

[PATCH net 2/2] netlink: specs: rt-link: decode ip6gre

[Jakub Kicinski]

Driver tests now require GRE tunnels, while we don't configure
them with YNL, YNL will complain when it sees link types it
doesn't recognize. Teach it decoding ip6gre tunnels. The attrs
are largely the same as IPv4 GRE.

Correct the type of encap-limit, but note that this attr is
only used in ip6gre, so the mistake didn't matter until now.
