Hi Simon,

Thanks for your thorough review.
 From the parsing code on lines 183-188:
           parm = nla_data(pattr);
           if (!parm->nkeys) {
                   NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(extack, "Pedit requires keys to be 
passed");
                   return -EINVAL;
           }
           ksize = parm->nkeys * sizeof(struct tc_pedit_key);

So it seems ksize can't be zero.
Let me know if you think there are other edge cases, perhaps we can add 
more tests to tdc.

Pedro
