Commonly, ethernet addresses are just using a policy of { .len = ETH_ALEN } which leaves userspace free to send more data than it should, which may hide bugs. Introduce NLA_EXACT_LEN which checks for exact size, rejecting the attribute if it's not exactly that length. Also add NLA_EXACT_LEN_WARN which requires the minimum length and will warn on longer attributes, for backward compatibility. Use these to define NLA_POLICY_ETH_ADDR (new strict policy) and NLA_POLICY_ETH_ADDR_COMPAT (compatible policy with warning); these are used like this: static const struct nla_policy <name>[...] = { [NL_ATTR_NAME] = NLA_POLICY_ETH_ADDR, ... }; Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
