In commit4e8b86c062("mqprio: Introduce new hardware offload mode and shaper in mqprio"), the TCA_OPTIONS format of mqprio was extended to contain a fixed portion (of size NLA_ALIGN(sizeof struct tc_mqprio_qopt)) and a variable portion of other nlattrs (in the TCA_MQPRIO_* type space) following immediately afterwards. In commitfeb2cf3dcf("net/sched: mqprio: refactor nlattr parsing to a separate function"), we've moved the nlattr handling to a smaller function, but yet, a small parse_attr() still remains, and the larger mqprio_parse_nlattr() still does not have access to the beginning, and the length, of the TCA_OPTIONS region containing these other nlattrs. In a future change, the mqprio qdisc will need to iterate through this nlattr region to discover other attributes, so eliminate parse_attr() and add 2 variables in mqprio_parse_nlattr() which hold the beginning and the length of the nlattr range. We avoid the need to memset when nlattr_opt_len has insufficient length by pre-initializing the table "tb".

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.
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.
