Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2020 12:45:15 +0200 From: Johannes Berg <johannes@...solutions.net> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] netlink: export policy on validation failures Export the policy used for attribute validation when it fails, so e.g. for an out-of-range attribute userspace immediately gets the valid ranges back. v2 incorporates the suggestion from Jakub to have a function to estimate the size (netlink_policy_dump_attr_size_estimate()) and check that it does the right thing on the *normal* policy dumps, not (just) when calling it from the error scenario. v3 only addresses a few minor style issues. v4 fixes up a forgotten 'git add' ... sorry. v5 is a resend, I messed up v4's cover letter subject (saying v3) and apparently the second patch didn't go out at all. Tested using nl80211/iw in a few scenarios, seems to work fine and return the policy back, e.g. kernel reports: integer out of range policy: 04 00 0b 00 0c 00 04 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ^ padding ^ minimum allowed value policy: 04 00 0b 00 0c 00 05 00 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 ^ padding ^ maximum allowed value policy: 08 00 01 00 04 00 00 00 ^ type 4 == U32 for an out-of-range case. johannes
