Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 00/11] wireguard: netlink: ynl conversion
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 18:32:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251105183223.89913-1-ast@fiberby.net> (raw)
This series completes the implementation of YNL for wireguard,
as previously announced[1].
This series consist of 5 parts:
1) Patch 01-03 - Misc. changes
2) Patch 04 - Add YNL specification for wireguard
3) Patch 05-07 - Transition to a generated UAPI header
4) Patch 08 - Adds a sample program for the generated C library
5) Patch 09-11 - Transition to generated netlink policy code
The main benefit of having a YNL specification is unlocked after the
first 2 parts, the RFC version seems to already have spawned a new
Rust netlink binding[2] using wireguard as it's main example.
Part 3 and 5 validates that the specification is complete and aligned,
the generated code might have a few warts, but they don't matter too
much, and are mostly a transitional problem[3].
Part 4 is possible after part 2, but is ordered after part 3,
as it needs to duplicate the UAPI header in tools/include.
For the non-generated kernel C code the diff stat looks like this:
$ git diff --stat net-next/main..wg-ynl include/ drivers/ \
':(exclude)*netlink_gen*'

v3:
- Spec: Make flags-mask checks implicit (thanks Jakub).
- Sample: Add header to Makefile.deps, and avoid copy (thanks Jakub).
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251031160539.1701943-1-ast@fiberby.net/
- Add missing forward declaration
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251029205123.286115-1-ast@fiberby.net/
- Policy arguement to nla_parse_nested() changed to NULL (thanks Johannes).
- Added attr-cnt-name to the spec, to reduce the diff a bit.
- Refined the doc in the spec a bit.
- Reword commit messages a bit.
- Reordered the patches, and reduced the series from 14 to 11 patches.
