Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/7] netlink: specs: rt-link: set ignore-index on indexed-arrays
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:26:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022182701.250897-7-ast@fiberby.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251022182701.250897-1-ast@fiberby.net>
Most of the indexes in rt-link indexed-arrays have no special meaning,
they are just written with an iterator index, which refers to the
order in which they have been packed into the netlink message.
Thus this patch sets ignore-index on these two attributes.
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━┓
┃ ┃ out/ ┃ input/ ┃ ignore ┃
┃ Attribute ┃ dump ┃ parsed ┃ -index ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━┩
│ IFLA_BOND_ARP_IP_TARGET │ 0++ │ yes(1) │ yes │
│ IFLA_BOND_NS_IP6_TARGET │ 0++ │ yes(1) │ yes │
│ IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO │ (2) │ - │ no │
└─────────────────────────────────────┴──────┴────────┴────────┘
Where:
0++) incrementing index starting from 0
1) When parsed the index is unused.
2) IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS is used as index in
rtnl_offload_xstats_fill_hw_s_info().
