A few quick comments here as the test is failing

no need for min: 0 on an unsigned type ?


Will remove them.

Why in percentage? I don't think any existing param in devlink rate
or net shapers is in percentage right? Not according to what i can
grok about the uAPI.


I thought percentage might fit better here because it lets users clearly set the bandwidth share for each traffic class. While this isn’t the same as tx_weight in devlink-rate, the idea is related since both use relative values. If there isn’t a strong reason against it, I’d like to keep using percentages here.

Let's error check this, I get that we already validated via the policy
but what if we do memory allocations during parsing one day, or some
other failure-prone operation.. better check the return value.


Ack. will do.
nit: over 80 chars for no good reason, the line overflows anyway.
Please use checkpatch --max-line-width=80 for core code,
at the very least.


I noticed the current code already goes over 80 chars, but I’ll update it to follow the 80-char limit. Will fix, thanks.

  or better still add a _type() version of nlmsg_for_each_attr() ?

Good point, thanks. I’ll add a _type() version for nlmsg_for_each_attr. Do you prefer this to be part of this patch or should I send it as a separate patch?
