162 * Standard attribute types to specify validation policy
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_TYPE_MAX,
180 #define NLA_TYPE_MAX (__NLA_TYPE_MAX - 1)
183 * struct nla_policy - attribute validation policy
184 * @type: Type of attribute or NLA_UNSPEC
185 * @len: Type specific length of payload
187 * Policies are defined as arrays of this struct, the array must be
188 * accessible by attribute type up to the highest identifier to be expected.
190 * Meaning of `len' field:
191 * NLA_STRING Maximum length of string
192 * NLA_NUL_STRING Maximum length of string (excluding NUL)
193 * NLA_FLAG Unused
194 * NLA_BINARY Maximum length of attribute payload
195 * NLA_NESTED Don't use `len' field -- length verification is
196 * done by checking len of nested header (or empty)
197 * NLA_NESTED_COMPAT Minimum length of structure payload
198 * NLA_U8, NLA_U16,
199 * NLA_U32, NLA_U64,
200 * NLA_MSECS Leaving the length field zero will verify the
201 * given type fits, using it verifies minimum length
202 * just like "All other"
203 * All other Minimum length of attribute payload
205 * Example:
206 * static const struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
