Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== genetlink: support per op type policies While writing new genetlink families I was increasingly annoyed by the fact that we don't support different policies for do and dump callbacks. This makes it hard to do proper input validation for dumps which usually have a lot more narrow range of accepted attributes. There is also a minor inconvenience of not supporting different per_doit and post_doit callbacks per op. This series addresses those problems by introducing another op format. v3: - minor fixes to patch 12 after I took it for a spin with a real family - adjust commit msg in patch 8 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221102213338.194672-1-kuba@kernel.org/ - wait for net changes to propagate - restore the missing comment in patch 1 - drop extra space in patch 3 - improve commit message in patch 4 v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221018230728.1039524-1-kuba@kernel.org/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
