[net-next,v2,2/7] net: nexthop: Add NHA_OP_FLAGS

Commit Message

Petr Machata Feb. 29, 2024, 6:16 p.m. UTC

In order to add per-nexthop statistics, but still not increase netlink
message size for consumers that do not care about them, there needs to be a
toggle through which the user indicates their desire to get the statistics.
To that end, add a new attribute, NHA_OP_FLAGS. The idea is to be able to
use the attribute for carrying of arbitrary operation-specific flags, i.e.
not make it specific for get / dump.

Add the new attribute to get and dump policies, but do not actually allow
any flags yet -- those will come later as the flags themselves are defined.
Add the necessary parsing code.

Notes:
    v2:
    - Change OP_FLAGS to u32, enforce through NLA_POLICY_MASK
