Subject: netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b424e432e770;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag

Add new validation flag NL_VALIDATE_NESTED which adds three consistency
checks of NLA_F_NESTED_FLAG:

  - the flag is set on attributes with NLA_NESTED{,_ARRAY} policy
  - the flag is not set on attributes with other policies except NLA_UNSPEC
  - the flag is set on attribute passed to nla_parse_nested()

v2: change error messages to mention NLA_F_NESTED explicitly
