From: Li Li <redacted>

Introduce a generic netlink multicast event to report binder transaction
failures to userspace. This allows subscribers to monitor these events
and take appropriate actions, such as stopping a misbehaving application
that is spamming a service with huge amount of transactions.

The multicast event contains full details of the failed transactions,
including the sender/target PIDs, payload size and specific error code.
This interface is defined using a YAML spec, from which the UAPI and
kernel headers and source are auto-generated.

It seems to me like this patch (which showed up in -next today after
Greg merged it) caused a build error for me in my daily -next builds
for Fedora when building tools/net/ynl:

Odd, this works for me.

Hmmm, happened on various Fedora releases and archs in Fedora's coprs
buildsys for me today. And with a local Fedora 41 x86_64 install, too;
in the latter case (just verified) both when checking out next-20250821
and 63740349eba78f ("binder: introduce transaction reports via netlink")
from -next.

How exactly are you building this?

Just "cd tools/net/ynl; make".

Odd, this works for me in the driver-core-next branch, but in linux-next
it blows up like this.  Is it a merge issue somewhere?  I don't know
what this tool is doing to attempt to debug it myself, sorry.
