XDR specification files can contain lines prefixed with '%' that
pass through unchanged to generated output. Traditional rpcgen
removes the '%' and emits the remainder verbatim, allowing direct
insertion of C includes, pragma directives, or other language-
specific content into the generated code.
Until now, xdrgen silently discarded these lines during parsing.
This prevented specifications from including necessary headers or
preprocessor directives that might be required for the generated
code to compile correctly.
The grammar now captures pass-through lines instead of ignoring
them. A new AST node type represents pass-through content, and
the AST transformer strips the leading '%' character. Definition
and source generators emit pass-through content in document order,
preserving the original placement within the specification.
This brings xdrgen closer to feature parity with traditional
rpcgen while maintaining the existing document-order processing
model.
Existing generated xdrgen source code has been regenerated.

XDR enum decoders generated by xdrgen do not verify that incoming
values are valid members of the enum. Incoming out-of-range values
from malicious or buggy peers propagate through the system
unchecked.
Add validation logic to generated enum decoders using a switch
statement that explicitly lists valid enumerator values. The
compiler optimizes this to a simple range check when enum values
are dense (contiguous), while correctly rejecting invalid values
for sparse enums with gaps in their value ranges.
The --no-enum-validation option on the source subcommand disables
this validation when not needed.
The minimum and maximum fields in _XdrEnum, which were previously
unused placeholders for a range-based validation approach, have
been removed since the switch-based validation handles both dense
and sparse enums correctly.
Because the new mechanism results in substantive changes to
generated code, existing .x files are regenerated. Unrelated white
space and semicolon changes in the generated code are due to recent
commit 1c873a2fd110 ("xdrgen: Don't generate unnecessary semicolon")
and commit 38c4df91242b ("xdrgen: Address some checkpatch whitespace
complaints").

struct svc_service has a .vs_xdrsize field that is filled in by
servers for each of their RPC programs. This field is supposed to
contain the size of the largest procedure argument in the RPC
program. This value is also sometimes used to size network
transport buffers.
Currently, server implementations must manually calculate and
hard-code this value, which is error-prone and requires updates
when procedure arguments change.
Update xdrgen to determine which procedure argument structure is
largest, and emit a macro with a well-known name that contains
the size of that structure. Server code then uses this macro when
initializing the .vs_xdrsize field.
For NLM version 4, xdrgen now emits:
#define NLM4_MAX_ARGS_SZ (NLM4_nlm4_lockargs_sz)

"short" and "unsigned short" types are not defined in RFC 4506, but
are supported by the rpcgen program. An upcoming protocol
specification includes at least one "unsigned short" field, so xdrgen
needs to implement support for these types.

The program templates for decoder/argument.j2 and encoder/result.j2
unconditionally add 'struct' prefix to all types. This is incorrect
when an RPC protocol specification lists a typedef'd basic type or
an enum as a procedure argument or result (e.g., NFSv2's fhandle or
stat), resulting in compiler errors when building generated C code.

Eliminate this warning in code generated by xdrgen:
fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr_gen.c:220:2: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool]
220 | switch (ptr->attributes_follow) {
| ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No more -Wswitch-bool warnings when compiling with W=1.
The generated code is functionally equivalent but somewhat more
idiomatic.

RFC 4506 defines void as a zero-length type that may appear only as
union arms or as program argument/result types. It cannot be declared
with an identifier, so constructs like "typedef void temp;" are not
valid XDR.
Previously, xdrgen raised a NotImplementedError when it encountered a
void declaration in a typedef. Which was misleading, as the problem is an
invalid RPC specification rather than missing functionality in xdrgen.
This patch replaces the NotImplementedError for _XdrVoid in typedef
handling with a clearer ValueError that specifies incorrect use of void
in the XDR input, making it clear that the issue lies in the RPC
specification being parsed.

Running xdrgen on xdrgen/tests/test.x fails when
generating encoder or decoder functions for union
members of type _XdrString. It was because _XdrString
does not have a spec attribute like _XdrBasic,
leading to AttributeError.
This patch updates emit_union_case_spec_definition
and emit_union_case_spec_decoder/encoder to handle
_XdrString by assigning type_name = "char *" and
avoiding referencing to spec.
Testing: Fixed xdrgen tool was run on originally failing
test file (tools/net/sunrpc/xdrgen/tests/test.x) and now
completes without AttributeError. Modified xdrgen tool was
also run against nfs4_1.x (Documentation/sunrpc/xdr/nfs4_1.x).
The output header file matches with nfs4_1.h
(include/linux/sunrpc/xdrgen/nfs4_1.h).
This validates the patch for all XDR input files currently
within the kernel.
Changes since v2:
- Moved the shebang to the first line
- Removed SPDX header to match style of current xdrgen files
Changes since v1:
- Corrected email address in Signed-off-by.
- Wrapped patch description lines to 72 characters.

Use Python's built-in Path constructor to find the Jinja templates.
This provides better error checking, proper use of path component
separators, and more reliable location of the template files.

I noticed that "xdrgen source" reorders the procedure encoder and
decoder functions every time it is run. I would prefer that the
generated code be more deterministic: it enables a reader to better
see exactly what has changed between runs of the tool.
The problem is that Python sets are not ordered. I use a Python set
to ensure that, when multiple procedures use a particular argument or
result type, the encoder/decoder for that type is emitted only once.
Sets aren't ordered, but I can use Python dictionaries for this
purpose to ensure the procedure functions are always emitted in the
same order if the .x file does not change.

Add a Python-based tool for translating XDR specifications into XDR
encoder and decoder functions written in the Linux kernel's C coding
style. The generator attempts to match the usual C coding style of
the Linux kernel's SunRPC consumers.
This approach is similar to the netlink code generator in
tools/net/ynl .
The maintainability benefits of machine-generated XDR code include:
- Stronger type checking
- Reduces the number of bugs introduced by human error
- Makes the XDR code easier to audit and analyze
- Enables rapid prototyping of new RPC-based protocols
- Hardens the layering between protocol logic and marshaling
- Makes it easier to add observability on demand
- Unit tests might be built for both the tool and (automatically)
for the generated code
In addition, converting the XDR layer to use memory-safe languages
such as Rust will be easier if much of the code can be converted
automatically.
