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