This patch also provides an extra feature: a validation callback
that could be speaciliazed for other types.

s/speaciliazed/speciliazed/


Will fix.



[ATTR_GOO] = { .type = MYTYPE,
             .validation_data = &myvalidation_data,
                 .validate_content = mycontent_validator },

Indent is wrong. (Does not matter really in desc, but anyway)


I cant find out how it got indented that way; my source
or email dont show it as such (but really doesnt matter).

Will add.



I believe that this struct should go into:
include/uapi/linux/netlink.h

struct nla_flag_bits {
        __u32 nla_flag_bits_values;
        __u32 nla_flag_bits_selector;
};

Then you can use it from userspace and everywhere in kernel.

That file seems to be very out of place for this stuff.

Howcome? It is a common netlink api.


Take a look at that file's content. It talks about what goes in
the netlink header. Adding types in it seems out of place.


NLA_XXX are kernel side types.  They are part of net/netlink.h which is
not uapi accessible.
David Ahern has submitted a patch to move all those defines to iproute2.
Will make sense to move these to a uapi/linux/netlink-types.h but that
is waay beyond the scope of this patch set.

Well, I don't think so :)

The thing is, struct nla_flag_bits is tightly coupled with NLA_FLAG_BITS
enum value. They should be in the same uapi file. That makes sense to me.


Sure - they should be in the same file. But is it uapi/linux/netlink.h?

cheers,
jamal
