2025-08-12docs: netlink: remove obsolete .gitignore from unused directoryMauro Carvalho Chehab
The previous code was generating source rst files under Documentation/networking/netlink_spec/. With the Sphinx YAML parser, this is now gone. So, stop ignoring *.rst files inside netlink specs directory. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Donald Hunter <donald.hunter@gmail.com>
2025-08-12docs: use parser_yaml extension to handle Netlink specsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of manually calling ynl_gen_rst.py, use a Sphinx extension. This way, no .rst files would be written to the Kernel source directories. We are using here a toctree with :glob: property. This way, there is no need to touch the netlink/specs/index.rst file every time a new Netlink spec is added/renamed/removed.

2025-01-09tools: ynl: move python code to separate sub-directoryJan Stancek
Move python code to a separate directory so it can be packaged as a python module. Updates existing references in selftests and docs. Also rename ynl-gen-[c|rst] to ynl_gen_[c|rst], avoid dashes as these prevent easy imports for entrypoints.

2023-11-24Documentation: Document each netlink familyBreno Leitao
This is a simple script that parses the Netlink YAML spec files (Documentation/netlink/specs/), and generates RST files to be rendered in the Network -> Netlink Specification documentation page. Create a python script that is invoked during 'make htmldocs', reads the YAML specs input file and generate the correspondent RST file. Create a new Documentation/networking/netlink_spec index page, and reference each Netlink RST file that was processed above in this main index.rst file. In case of any exception during the parsing, dump the error and skip the file. Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files (YAML) were not changed in-between invocations. Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> ---- Changelog: V3: * Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files were not changed. In order to do it, a few things changed: - Rely on Makefile more to find what changed, and trigger individual file processing - The script parses file by file now (instead of batches) - Create a new option to generate the index file V2: * Moved the logic from a sphinx extension to a external script * Adjust some formatting as suggested by Donald Hunter and Jakub * Auto generating all the rsts instead of having stubs * Handling error gracefully Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
