Merge branch 'netlink-strict-attribute-checking-follow-up'
Michal Kubecek says: ==================== netlink: strict attribute checking follow-up Three follow-up patches for recent strict netlink validation series. Patch 1 fixes dump handling for genetlink families which validate and parse messages themselves (e.g. because they need different policies for diferent commands). Patch 2 sets bad_attr in extack in one place where this was omitted. Patch 3 adds new NL_VALIDATE_NESTED flags for strict validation to enable checking that NLA_F_NESTED value in received messages matches expectations and includes this flag in NL_VALIDATE_STRICT. This would change userspace visible behavior but the previous switching to NL_VALIDATE_STRICT for new code is still only in net-next at the moment. v2: change error messages to mention NLA_F_NESTED explicitly ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
