wireguard: netlink: add YNL specification
This patch adds a near[1] complete YNL specification for WireGuard,
documenting the protocol in a machine-readable format, rather than
comments in wireguard.h, and eases usage from C and non-C programming
languages alike.
The generated C library will be featured in a later patch, so in
this patch I will use the in-kernel python client for examples.
This makes the documentation in the UAPI header redundant, it is
therefore removed. The in-line documentation in the spec is based
on the existing comment in wireguard.h, and once released it will
be available in the kernel documentation at:
https://docs.kernel.org/netlink/specs/wireguard.html
(until then run: make htmldocs)
Generate wireguard.rst from this spec:
$ make -C tools/net/ynl/generated/ wireguard.rst
Query wireguard interface through pyynl:
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family wireguard \
--dump get-device \
--json '{"ifindex":3}'
[{'fwmark': 0,
'ifindex': 3,
'ifname': 'wg-test',
'listen-port': 54318,
'peers': [{0: {'allowedips': [{0: {'cidr-mask': 0,
'family': 2,
'ipaddr': '0.0.0.0'}},
{0: {'cidr-mask': 0,
'family': 10,
'ipaddr': '::'}}],
'endpoint': b'[...]',
'last-handshake-time': {'nsec': 42, 'sec': 42},
'persistent-keepalive-interval': 42,
'preshared-key': '[...]',
'protocol-version': 1,
'public-key': '[...]',
'rx-bytes': 42,
'tx-bytes': 42}}],
'private-key': '[...]',
'public-key': '[...]'}]
Add another allowed IP prefix:
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family wireguard \
--do set-device --json '{"ifindex":3,"peers":[
{"public-key":"6a df b1 83 a4 ..","allowedips":[
{"cidr-mask":0,"family":10,"ipaddr":"::"}]}]}'
[1] As can be seen above, the "endpoint" is only dumped as binary data,
as it can't be fully described in YNL. It's either a struct
sockaddr_in or struct sockaddr_in6 depending on the attribute length.
