This series completes the implementation of YNL for wireguard, as previously announced[1]. This series consist of 5 parts: 1) Patch 01-03 - Misc. changes 2) Patch 04 - Add YNL specification for wireguard 3) Patch 05-07 - Transition to a generated UAPI header 4) Patch 08 - Adds a sample program for the generated C library 5) Patch 09-11 - Transition to generated netlink policy code The main benefit of having a YNL specification is unlocked after the first 2 parts, the RFC version seems to already have spawned a new Rust netlink binding[2] using wireguard as it's main example. Part 3 and 5 validates that the specification is complete and aligned, the generated code might have a few warts, but they don't matter too much, and are mostly a transitional problem[3]. Part 4 is possible after part 2, but is ordered after part 3, as it needs to duplicate the UAPI header in tools/include.
These LGTM, now. Jason what's your feeling here? AFAICT the changes to the wg code are quite minor now.
