164 enum {
165 NLA_UNSPEC,
166 NLA_U8,
167 NLA_U16,
168 NLA_U32,
169 NLA_U64,
170 NLA_STRING,
171 NLA_FLAG,
172 NLA_MSECS,
173 NLA_NESTED,
174 NLA_NESTED_COMPAT,
175 NLA_NUL_STRING,
176 NLA_BINARY,
177 NLA_S8,
178 NLA_S16,
179 NLA_S32,
180 NLA_S64,
181 __NLA_TYPE_MAX,
184 #define NLA_TYPE_MAX (__NLA_TYPE_MAX - 1)
187 * struct nla_policy - attribute validation policy
188 * @type: Type of attribute or NLA_UNSPEC
189 * @len: Type specific length of payload
191 * Policies are defined as arrays of this struct, the array must be
192 * accessible by attribute type up to the highest identifier to be expected.
194 * Meaning of `len' field:
195 * NLA_STRING Maximum length of string
196 * NLA_NUL_STRING Maximum length of string (excluding NUL)
197 * NLA_FLAG Unused
198 * NLA_BINARY Maximum length of attribute payload
199 * NLA_NESTED Don't use `len' field -- length verification is
200 * done by checking len of nested header (or empty)
201 * NLA_NESTED_COMPAT Minimum length of structure payload
202 * NLA_U8, NLA_U16,
203 * NLA_U32, NLA_U64,
204 * NLA_S8, NLA_S16,
205 * NLA_S32, NLA_S64,
206 * NLA_MSECS Leaving the length field zero will verify the
207 * given type fits, using it verifies minimum length
208 * just like "All other"
209 * All other Minimum length of attribute payload
211 * Example:

214 * [ATTR_BAR] = { .type = NLA_STRING, .len = BARSIZ },
