Add missing support for parsing MAC addresses when display_hint is 'mac'
in the YNL library. This enables YNL CLI to accept MAC address strings
for attributes like lladdr in rt-neigh operations.

Based on past discussions it seems like integration of YNL into
iproute2 is unlikely. YNL itself is not great as a C library,
since it has no backward compat (we routinely change types).
Most of the operations can be performed with the generic Python
CLI directly. There is, however, a handful of operations where
summarization of kernel output is very useful (mostly related
to stats: page-pool, qstat).
Create a command (inspired by bpftool, I think it stood the test
of time reasonably well) to be able to plug the subcommands into.

In early days of YNL development dumping the NlMsg on errors
was quite useful, as the library itself could have been buggy.
These days increasingly the NlMsg is just taking up screen space
and means nothing to a typical user. Try to format the errors
more in line with how YNL C formats its errors strings.
Before:
$ ynl --family ethtool --do channels-set --json '{}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22
extack: {'miss-type': 'header'}
$ ynl --family ethtool --do channels-set --json '{..., "tx-count": 999}'

nl_len = 88 (72) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22
extack: {'msg': 'requested channel count exceeds maximum', 'bad-attr': '.tx-count'}

The ynl_attr_put_str() function was not including the null terminator
in the attribute length calculation. This caused kernel to reject
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY requests with EINVAL:
"Attribute failed policy validation".
For a 4-character family name like "dpll":
- Sent: nla_len=8 (4 byte header + 4 byte string without null)
- Expected: nla_len=9 (4 byte header + 5 byte string with null)
The bug was introduced in commit 15d2540e0d ("tools: ynl: check for
overflow of constructed messages") when refactoring from stpcpy() to
strlen(). The original code correctly included the null terminator:
end = stpcpy(ynl_attr_data(attr), str);
attr->nla_len = NLA_HDRLEN + NLA_ALIGN(end -
(char *)ynl_attr_data(attr));
Since stpcpy() returns a pointer past the null terminator, the length
included it. The refactored version using strlen() omitted the +1.
The fix also removes NLA_ALIGN() from nla_len calculation, since
nla_len should contain actual attribute length, not aligned length.
Alignment is only for calculating next attribute position. This makes
the code consistent with ynl_attr_put().
CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_NAME uses NLA_NUL_STRING policy which requires
null terminator. Kernel validates with memchr() and rejects if not
found.

Mike Snitzer has prototyped a mechanism for disabling I/O caching in
NFSD. This is introduced in v6.18 as an experimental feature. This
enables scaling NFSD in /both/ directions:
- NFS service can be supported on systems with small memory
footprints, such as low-cost cloud instances
- Large NFS workloads will be less likely to force the eviction of
server-local activity, helping it avoid thrashing
Jeff Layton contributed a number of fixes to the new attribute
delegation implementation (based on a pending Internet RFC) that we
hope will make attribute delegation reliable enough to enable by
default, as it is on the Linux NFS client.
The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor

The attribute WGALLOWEDIP_A_IPADDR can contain either an IPv4

in practice it is enough to look at the attribute length.
This patch implements an ipv4-or-v6 display hint, that can
deal with this kind of attribute.
It only implements this display hint for genetlink-legacy, it
can be added to other protocol variants if needed, but we don't

In nested arrays don't require that the intermediate attribute
type should be a valid attribute type, it might just be zero
or an incrementing index, it is often not even used.
See include/net/netlink.h about NLA_NESTED_ARRAY:
> The difference to NLA_NESTED is the structure:
> NLA_NESTED has the nested attributes directly inside
> while an array has the nested attributes at another
> level down and the attribute types directly in the
> nesting don't matter.
Example based on include/uapi/linux/wireguard.h:
> WGDEVICE_A_PEERS: NLA_NESTED
> 0: NLA_NESTED
> WGPEER_A_PUBLIC_KEY: NLA_EXACT_LEN, len WG_KEY_LEN
> [..]
> 0: NLA_NESTED
> ...
> ...
Previous the check required that the nested type was valid
in the parent attribute set, which in this case resolves to
WGDEVICE_A_UNSPEC, which is YNL_PT_REJECT, and it took the
early exit and returned YNL_PARSE_CB_ERROR.
This patch renames the old nl_attr_validate() to
__nl_attr_validate(), and creates a new inline function
nl_attr_validate() to mimic the old one.
The new __nl_attr_validate() takes the attribute type as an
argument, so we can use it to validate attributes of a
nested attribute, in the context of the parents attribute
type, which in the above case is generated as:
[WGDEVICE_A_PEERS] = {
.name = "peers",
.type = YNL_PT_NEST,
.nest = &wireguard_wgpeer_nest,
},
__nl_attr_validate() only checks if the attribute length
is plausible for a given attribute type, so the .nest in
the above example is not used.
As the new inline function needs to be defined after
ynl_attr_type(), then the definitions are moved down,
so we avoid a forward declaration of ynl_attr_type().
Some other examples are NL80211_BAND_ATTR_FREQS (nest) and
NL80211_ATTR_SUPPORTED_COMMANDS (u32) both in nl80211-user.c

requests, by moving the logic from put_req_nested() into a new
helper put_local_vars(), and use the helper before .attr_put() is

const struct nlattr *attr_ops;

parg.rsp_policy = &nlctrl_op_attrs_nest;
ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr, attr_ops) {
...
}
}
return YNL_PARSE_CB_OK;
}
It is clear that due to the sequential nature of code execution, when
n_ops (initially zero) is incremented, attr_ops is also assigned from
the value of "attr" (the current iterator).
But some compilers, like gcc version 12.2.0 (Debian 12.2.0-14+deb12u1)

It is a pity that we have to do this, but I see no other way than to
suppress the false positive by appeasing the compiler and initializing
the "*attr_{aspec.c_name}" variable with a bogus value (NULL). This will
never be used - at runtime it will always be overwritten when
"n_{struct[anest].c_name}" is non-zero.

Some attribute-set have a documentation (doc:), but it was not displayed
in the RST / HTML version. Such field can be found in ethtool, netdev,
tcp_metrics and team YAML files.
Only the 'name' and 'attributes' fields from an 'attribute-set' section
were parsed. Now the content of the 'doc' field, if available, is added
as a new paragraph before listing each attribute. This is similar to
what is done when parsing the 'operations'.

The blamed commit introduced the concept of split attribute
counting, and later allocating an array to hold them, however
TypeArrayNest wasn't updated to use the new counting variable.
Abbreviated example from tools/net/ynl/generated/nl80211-user.c:
nl80211_if_combination_attributes_parse(...):
unsigned int n_limits = 0;
[...]
ynl_attr_for_each(attr, nlh, yarg->ys->family->hdr_len)
if (type == NL80211_IFACE_COMB_LIMITS)
ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr2, attr)
dst->_count.limits++;
if (n_limits) {
dst->_count.limits = n_limits;
/* allocate and parse attributes */
}
In the above example n_limits is guaranteed to always be 0,
hence the conditional is unsatisfiable and is optimized out.
This patch changes the attribute counting to use n_limits++ in the
attribute counting loop in the above example.

This patch changes the generated min-len check for binary
attributes to use the NLA_POLICY_MIN_LEN() macro, thereby the
generated code supports strict policy validation.
With this change TypeBinary will always generate a NLA_BINARY
attribute policy.
This doesn't change any currently generated code, as it isn't
used in any specs currently used for generating code.

As we'll be using the Netlink specs parser inside a Sphinx
extension, move the library part from the command line parser.
While here, change the code which generates an index file
to parse inputs from both .rst and .yaml extensions. With
that, the tool can easily be tested with:
tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_rst.py -x -o Documentation/netlink/specs/foo.rst
Without needing to first generate a temp directory with the
rst files.

Currently, rt documents are referred with:

Documentation/userspace-api/netlink/netlink-raw.rst: :doc:`tc<../../networking/netlink_spec/tc>`
Having :doc: references with relative paths doesn't always work,
as it may have troubles when O= is used. Also that's hard to
maintain, and may break if we change the way rst files are
generated from yaml. Better to use instead a reference for
the netlink family.
So, replace them by Sphinx cross-reference tag that are
created by ynl_gen_rst.py.

For basic types we "flatten" setters. If a request "a" has a simple
nest "b" with value "val" we print helpers like:
req_set_a_b(struct a *req, int val)
{
req->_present.a = 1;
req->b._present.val = 1;
req->b.val = ...
}
This is not possible for multi-attr because they have to be allocated
dynamically by the user. Print "object level" setters so that user
preparing the object doesn't have to futz with the presence bits
and other YNL internals.
Add the ability to pass in the variable name to generated setters.
Using "req" here doesn't feel right, while the attr is part of a request
it's not the request itself, so it seems cleaner to call it "obj".
Example:
static inline void
netdev_queue_id_set_id(struct netdev_queue_id *obj, __u32 id)
{
obj->_present.id = 1;
obj->id = id;
}
