From 025331df34f6722f86b467cb13a69326444ab1bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 01:56:11 +0100 Subject: rtnl: don't account unused struct ifla_port_vsi in rtnl_port_size When allocating rtnl dump messages, struct ifla_port_vsi is never dumped, so we can save header plus payload in rtnl_port_size(). Infact, attribute IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE and struct ifla_port_vsi are not used anywhere in the kernel. We only need to keep the nla policy should applications in user space be filling this out. Same NLA_BINARY issue exists as was fixed in 364d5716a7ad ("rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY") and others, but then again IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE is not used anywhere, so just add a comment that it's unused.
