Subject: [PATCH 4/4] tools: ynl: add start-index property for indexed arrays
The Linux tc actions expect that the action order starts from index
one. To accommodate this, add a start-index property to the ynl spec
for indexed arrays. This property allows the starting index to be
specified, ensuring compatibility with consumers that require a
non-zero-based index.
For example if we have "start_index = 1" then we get the following
diff.
ynl_attr_put_str(nlh, TCA_FLOWER_INDEV, obj->indev);
array = ynl_attr_nest_start(nlh, TCA_FLOWER_ACT);
for (i = 0; i < obj->_count.act; i++)
- tc_act_attrs_put(nlh, i, &obj->act[i]);
+ tc_act_attrs_put(nlh, i + 1, &obj->act[i]);
ynl_attr_nest_end(nlh, array);
