Subject: [patch net-next 00/10] net: genetlink: parse attrs for dumpit() callback

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...lanox.com>

In generic netlink, parsing attributes for doit() callback is already
implemented. They are available in info->attrs.

For dumpit() however, each user which is interested in attributes have to
parse it manually. Even though the attributes may be (depending on flag)
already validated (by parse function).

Make usage of attributes in dumpit() more convenient and prepare
info->attrs too.

Patchset also make the existing users of genl_family_attrbuf() converted
to use info->attrs and removes the helper.

Jiri Pirko (10):
  net: genetlink: push doit/dumpit code from genl_family_rcv_msg
  net: genetlink: introduce dump info struct to be available during
    dumpit op
  net: genetlink: push attrbuf allocation and parsing to a separate
    function
  net: genetlink: parse attrs and store in contect info struct during
    dumpit
  net: ieee802154: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
  net: nfc: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
  net: tipc: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
  net: tipc: allocate attrs locally instead of using genl_family_attrbuf
    in compat_dumpit()
  net: genetlink: remove unused genl_family_attrbuf()
  devlink: have genetlink code to parse the attrs during dumpit
