netlink: export policy in extended ACK
Add a new attribute NLMSGERR_ATTR_POLICY to the extended ACK to advertise the policy, e.g. if an attribute was out of range, you'll know the range that's permissible. Add new NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL() and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL() macros to set this, since realistically it's only useful to do this when the bad attribute (offset) is also returned. Use it in lib/nlattr.c which practically does all the policy validation. v2: - add and use netlink_policy_dump_attr_size_estimate() v3: - remove redundant break v4: - really remove redundant break ... sorry Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
