From bdbb4e29df8b790db50cb73ce25d23543329f05f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2020 15:07:38 -0700 Subject: netlink: add mask validation 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.
