Johannes Berg says: ==================== netlink: nested policy validation This adds nested policy validation, which lets you specify the nested attribute type, e.g. NLA_NESTED with sub-policy, or the new NLA_NESTED_ARRAY with sub-sub-policy. Changes in v2: * move setting the bad attr pointer/message into validate_nla() * remove the recursion patch since that's no longer needed * simply skip the generic bad attr pointer/message setting in case of nested nla_validate() failing since that could fail only due to validate_nla() failing inside, which already sets the extack information Changes in v3: * fix NLA_REJECT to have an error message if none is in policy ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
