tools: ynl: print some information about attribute we can't parse
When parsing throws an exception one often has to figure out which
attribute couldn't be parsed from first principles. For families
with large message parsing trees like rtnetlink guessing the
attribute can be hard.
Print a bit of information as the exception travels out, e.g.:
# when dumping rt links
Error decoding 'flags' from 'linkinfo-ip6tnl-attrs'
Error decoding 'data' from 'linkinfo-attrs'
Error decoding 'linkinfo' from 'link-attrs'

return format.unpack(self.raw)[0]
struct.error: unpack requires a buffer of 2 bytes
The Traceback is what we would previously see, the "Error..."
messages are new. We print a message per level (in the stack
order). Printing single combined message gets tricky quickly
given sub-messages etc.

tools/net/ynl: add async notification handling
The notification handling in ynl is currently very simple, using sleep()
to wait a period of time and then handling all the buffered messages in
a single batch.
This patch adds async notification handling so that messages can be
processed as they are received. This makes it possible to use ynl as a
library that supplies notifications in a timely manner.
- Add poll_ntf() to be a generator that yields 1 notification at a
time and blocks until a notification is available.
- Add a --duration parameter to the CLI, with --sleep as an alias.
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
--spec <SPEC> --subscribe <TOPIC> [ --duration <SECS> ]
The cli will report any notifications for duration seconds and then
exit. If duration is not specified, then it will poll forever, until
interrupted.
Here is an example python snippet that shows how to use ynl as a library
for receiving notifications:
ynl = YnlFamily(f"{dir}/rt_route.yaml")
ynl.ntf_subscribe('rtnlgrp-ipv4-route')
for event in ynl.poll_ntf():
handle(event)

tools/net/ynl: Add multi message support to ynl
Add a "--multi <do-op> <json>" command line to ynl that makes it
possible to add several operations to a single netlink request payload.
The --multi command line option is repeated for each operation.
This is used by the nftables family for transaction batches. For
example:
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
--spec Documentation/netlink/specs/nftables.yaml \
--multi batch-begin '{"res-id": 10}' \
--multi newtable '{"name": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \
--multi newchain '{"name": "chain", "table": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \
--multi batch-end '{"res-id": 10}'
[None, None, None, None]
It can also be used for bundling get requests:
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py \
--spec Documentation/netlink/specs/nftables.yaml \
--multi gettable '{"name": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \
--multi getchain '{"name": "chain", "table": "test", "nfgen-family": 1}' \
--output-json
[{"name": "test", "use": 1, "handle": 1, "flags": [],
"nfgen-family": 1, "version": 0, "res-id": 2},
{"table": "test", "name": "chain", "handle": 1, "use": 0,
"nfgen-family": 1, "version": 0, "res-id": 2}]
