Previously, we've used UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MIN_SZ for extending existing attributes. The behavior of this flag was the kernel accepts anything bigger than the minimum size it specified. This is unsafe, since in order to safely extend an attribute, we need to make sure unknown size is zeroed. Replacing UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MIN_SZ with UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MIN_SZ_OR_ZERO, which essentially checks that the unknown size is zero. In addition, attributes are now decorated with UVERBS_ATTR_TYPE and UVERBS_ATTR_STRUCT, so we can provide the minimum and known length. Users of this flag needs to use copy_from_or_zero functions/macros.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
