request_firmware_direct() ? I think udev timeout is 30 sec and we're
holding rtnl_lock.. I don't remember why we didn't use that in devlink

What does this protect us from?

GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK, and you can check it in the caller,
before taking rtnl_lock.

Hm. I think you copy the param struct by value to the work container.
nla_data() is in the skb which is going to get freed after _ACT returns.
So if anyone tries to access the name from the work it's going to UAF?
