To keep backward compatibility we used to leave attribute parsing to the family if no policy is specified. This becomes tedious as we move to more strict validation. Families must define reject all policies if they don't want any attributes accepted. Piggy back on the resv_start_op field as the switchover point. AFAICT only ethtool has added new commands since the resv_start_op was defined, and it has per-op policies so this should be a no-op. Nonetheless the patch should still go into v6.1 for consistency.

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.
