Merge branch 'nexthop-more-fine-grained-policies-for-netlink-message-…
…validation' Petr Machata says: ==================== nexthop: More fine-grained policies for netlink message validation There is currently one policy that covers all attributes for next hop object management. Actual validation is then done in code, which makes it unobvious which attributes are acceptable when, and indeed that everything is rejected as necessary. In this series, split rtm_nh_policy to several policies that cover various aspects of the next hop object configuration, and instead of open-coding the validation, defer to nlmsg_parse(). This should make extending the next hop code simpler as well, which will be relevant in near future for resilient hashing implementation. This was tested by running tools/testing/selftests/net/fib_nexthops.sh. Additionally iproute2 was tweaked to issue "nexthop list id" as an RTM_GETNEXTHOP dump request, instead of a straight get to test that unexpected attributes are indeed rejected. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1611156111.git.petrm@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
