-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Thomas Graf [ upstream commit: b9a2f2e450b0f770bb4347ae8d48eb2dea701e24 ] The purpose of nla_parse_nested_compat() is to parse attributes which contain a struct followed by a stream of nested attributes. So far, it called nla_parse_nested() to parse the stream of nested attributes which was wrong, as nla_parse_nested() expects a container attribute as data which holds the attribute stream. It needs to call nla_parse() directly while pointing at the next possible alignment point after the struct in the beginning of the attribute. With this patch, I can no longer reproduce the reported leftover warnings. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Acked-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
