netlink: specs: explicitly declare block scalar strings

2025-09-16T01:27:19Z

In YAML, it is allowed to declare a scalar strings at the next lines without explicitly declaring them as a block. Yet, they looks weird, and can cause issues when ':' or '#' are present. The modified lines didn't have issues with the special characters, but it seems better to explicitly declare such blocks as scalar strings to encourage people to "properly" declare future scalar strings. The right angle bracket is used with a minus sign to indicate that the folded style should be used without adding extra newlines. By doing that, the output is not changed compared to what was done before this patch.

net: define an enum for the napi threaded state

Instead of using '0' and '1' for napi threaded state use an enum with 'disabled' and 'enabled' states.

Add support to set NAPI threaded for individual NAPI

2025-07-15T01:02:37Z

A net device has a threaded sysctl that can be used to enable threaded NAPI polling on all of the NAPI contexts under that device. Allow enabling threaded NAPI polling at individual NAPI level using netlink. Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a NAPI context. Add a test in `nl_netdev.py` that verifies various cases of threaded NAPI being set at NAPI and at device level.
