linux-toradex.git/Documentation/netlink/specs/ovs_packet.yaml, branch master Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules netlink: specs: add OVS packet family specification 2026-05-27T00:17:41+00:00 Minxi Hou houminxi@gmail.com 2026-05-22T17:41:53+00:00 b82bfddc46e20d3ebb57c23bc8b8c831b7ca9f88 Add YAML netlink spec for the OVS_PACKET_FAMILY (ovs_packet). This completes the set of OVS genetlink family specs (ovs_datapath, ovs_flow, ovs_vport already exist). The spec defines three operations: MISS (event), ACTION (event), and EXECUTE (do). MISS and ACTION are kernel-to-userspace upcalls sent via genlmsg_unicast(); EXECUTE is the only registered genl operation. Key, actions, and egress-tun-key attributes are typed as binary rather than nest because the nested attribute definitions belong to the ovs_flow spec and cross-spec references are not supported by the YNL framework.

Add YAML netlink spec for the OVS_PACKET_FAMILY (ovs_packet).
This completes the set of OVS genetlink family specs (ovs_datapath,
ovs_flow, ovs_vport already exist).

The spec defines three operations: MISS (event), ACTION (event),
and EXECUTE (do). MISS and ACTION are kernel-to-userspace upcalls
sent via genlmsg_unicast(); EXECUTE is the only registered genl
operation.

Key, actions, and egress-tun-key attributes are typed as binary
rather than nest because the nested attribute definitions belong
to the ovs_flow spec and cross-spec references are not supported
by the YNL framework.
