<id>44f3625bc61653ea3bde9960298faf2f5518fda5</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new attribute NLMSGERR_ATTR_POLICY to the extended ACK
to advertise the policy, e.g. if an attribute was out of range,
you'll know the range that's permissible.

Add new NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL() and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL()
macros to set this, since realistically it's only useful to do
this when the bad attribute (offset) is also returned.

Use it in lib/nlattr.c which practically does all the policy
validation.

v2:
 - add and use netlink_policy_dump_attr_size_estimate()
v3:
 - remove redundant break
v4:
 - really remove redundant break ... sorry

Refactor the per-attribute policy writing into a new
helper function, to be used later for dumping out the
policy of a rejected attribute.

v2:
 - fix some indentation
v3:
 - change variable order in netlink_policy_dump_write()

We don't have good validation policy for existing unsigned int attrs
which serve as flags (for new ones we could use NLA_BITFIELD32).
With increased use of policy dumping having the validation be
expressed as part of the policy is important. Add validation
policy in form of a mask of supported/valid bits.

Support u64 in the uAPI to be future-proof, but really for now
the embedded mask member can only hold 32 bits, so anything with
bit 32+ set will always fail validation.

Right now CTRL_CMD_GETPOLICY can only dump the family-wide
policy. Support dumping policy of a specific op.

v3:
 - rebase after per-op policy export and handle that
v2:
 - make cmd U32, just in case.
v1:
 - don't echo op in the output in a naive way, this should
   make it cleaner to extend the output format for dumping
   policies for all the commands at once in the future.

Add support for per-op policy dumping. The data is pretty much
as before, except that now the assumption that the policy with
index 0 is "the" policy no longer holds - you now need to look
at the new CTRL_ATTR_OP_POLICY attribute which is a nested attr
(indexed by op) containing attributes for do and dump policies.

When a single op is requested, the CTRL_ATTR_OP_POLICY will be
added in the same way, since do and dump policies may differ.

v2:
 - conditionally advertise per-command policies only if there
   actually is a policy being used for the do/dump and it's
   present at all

Rework the policy dump code a bit to support adding multiple
policies to a single dump, in order to e.g. support per-op
policies in generic netlink.

v2:
 - move kernel-doc to implementation [Jakub]
 - squash the first patch to not flip-flop on the prototype
   [Jakub]
 - merge netlink_policy_dump_get_policy_idx() with the old
   get_policy_idx() we already had
 - rebase without Jakub's patch to have per-op dump

<title>netlink: compare policy more accurately</title>

The maxtype is really an integral part of the policy, and while we
haven't gotten into a situation yet where this happens, it seems
that some developer might eventually have two places pointing to
identical policies, with different maxattr to exclude some attrs
in one of the places.

Even if not, it's really the right thing to compare both since the
two data items fundamentally belong together.

v2:
 - also do the proper comparison in get_policy_idx()

In preparation for adding a new attribute to CTRL_CMD_GETPOLICY
split the policies for getpolicy and getfamily apart.

This will cause a slight user-visible change in that dumping
the policies will switch from per family to per op, but
supposedly sniffer-type applications (which are the main use
case for policy dumping thus far) should support both, anyway.
