tools/net/ynl: Makefile's install target now installs ynltool

2026-01-21T01:10:50+00:00

This tool is built by default, but was not being installed by default when running `make install`. Fix this by calling ynltool's install target. Signed-off-by: Michel Lind Link: https://patch.msgid.link/aWqr9gUT4hWZwwcI@mbp-m3-fedora.vm Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

tools: ynl: don't install tests

2026-01-08T16:46:36+00:00

make's install target is meant for installing the production artifacts, AFAIU. Don't install test_ynl_cli and test_ynl_ethtool from under the main YNL install target. The install target under tests/ is retained in case someone wants the tests to be installed.

tools: ynl: add YNL test framework

2025-11-27T01:58:49+00:00

Add a test framework for YAML Netlink (YNL) tools, covering both CLI and ethtool functionality. The framework includes: 1) cli: family listing, netdev, ethtool, rt-* families, and nlctrl operations 2) ethtool: device info, statistics, ring/coalesce/pause parameters, and feature gettings The current YNL syntax is a bit obscure, and end users may not always know how to use it. This test framework provides usage examples and also serves as a regression test to catch potential breakages caused by future changes.

tools: ynltool: create skeleton for the C command

2025-11-11T11:21:04+00:00

Based on past discussions it seems like integration of YNL into iproute2 is unlikely. YNL itself is not great as a C library, since it has no backward compat (we routinely change types). Most of the operations can be performed with the generic Python CLI directly. There is, however, a handful of operations where summarization of kernel output is very useful (mostly related to stats: page-pool, qstat). Create a command (inspired by bpftool, I think it stood the test of time reasonably well) to be able to plug the subcommands into.

Move python code to a separate directory so it can be packaged as a python module. Updates existing references in selftests and docs. Also rename ynl-gen-[c|rst] to ynl_gen_[c|rst], avoid dashes as these prevent easy imports for entrypoints.
