+/* Unified processing of GET requests uses two data structures: request info
+ * and reply data. Request info holds information parsed from client request
+ * and its stays constant through all request processing. Reply data holds data
+ * retrieved from ethtool_ops callbacks or other internal sources which is used
+ * to compose the reply. When processing a dump request, request info is filled
+ * only once (when the request message is parsed) but reply data is filled for
+ * each reply message.
+ *
+ * Both structures consist of part common for all request types (struct
+ * ethnl_req_info and struct ethnl_reply_data defined below) and optional
+ * parts specific for each request type. Common part always starts at offset 0.

+ * request info by parsed attributes from request message.
+ * @prepare_data:
+ * Retrieve and prepare data needed to compose a reply message. Calls to
+ * ethtool_ops handlers are limited to this callback. Common reply data
+ * (struct ethnl_reply_data) is filled on entry, type specific part after
+ * it is zero initialized. This callback should only modify the type
+ * specific part of reply data. Device identification from struct
+ * ethnl_reply_data is to be used as for dump requests, it iterates
+ * through network devices while dev member of struct ethnl_req_info
+ * points to the device from client request.
+ * @reply_size:
+ * Estimate reply message size. Returned value must be sufficient for
+ * message payload without common reply header. The callback may returned
+ * estimate higher than actual message size if exact calculation would
+ * not be worth the saved memory space.
+ * @fill_reply:
+ * Fill reply message payload (except for common header) from reply data.
+ * The callback must not generate more payload than previously called
+ * ->reply_size() estimated.
+ * @cleanup_data:
+ * Optional cleanup called when reply data is no longer needed. Can be
+ * used e.g. to free any additional data structures outside the main
+ * structure which were allocated by ->prepare_data(). When processing
+ * dump requests, ->cleanup() is called for each message.
+ *
+ * Description of variable parts of GET request handling when using the
+ * unified infrastructure. When used, a pointer to an instance of this
+ * structure is to be added to &ethnl_default_requests array and generic
+ * handlers ethnl_default_doit(), ethnl_default_dumpit(),
+ * ethnl_default_start() and ethnl_default_done() used in @ethtool_genl_ops.
