The function dcb_set_attribute() takes a fully-formed payload as an argument. For callers that need to build a nested attribute, such as is the case for DCB APP table, this is not great, because with libmnl, they would need to construct a separate netlink message just to pluck out the payload and hand it over to this function. Currently, dcb_set_attribute() also always wraps the payload in an DCB_ATTR_IEEE container, because that is what all the dcb subtools so far needed. But that is not appropriate for DCBX in particular, and in fact a handful other attributes, as well as any CEE payloads. Instead, generalize this code by adding parameters for constructing a custom payload and for fetching the response from a custom response attribute. Then add dcb_set_attribute_va(), which takes a callback to invoke in the right place for the nest to be built, and dcb_set_attribute_bare(), which is similar to dcb_set_attribute(), but does not encapsulate the payload in an IEEE container. Rewrite dcb_set_attribute() compatibly in terms of the new functions. Signed-off-by: Petr Machata <me@pmachata.org> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> |

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
