netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag
Add new validation flag NL_VALIDATE_NESTED which adds three consistency checks of NLA_F_NESTED_FLAG: - the flag is set on attributes with NLA_NESTED{,_ARRAY} policy - the flag is not set on attributes with other policies except NLA_UNSPEC - the flag is set on attribute passed to nla_parse_nested() Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> v2: change error messages to mention NLA_F_NESTED explicitly Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
