Merge branch 'net-introduce-nlmsg_payload-helper'
Breno Leitao says: ==================== net: Introduce nlmsg_payload helper In the current codebase, there are multiple instances where the structure size is checked before assigning it to a Netlink message. This check is crucial for ensuring that the structure is correctly mapped onto the Netlink message, providing a layer of security. To streamline this process, Jakub Kicinski suggested creating a helper function, `nlmsg_payload`, which verifies if the structure fits within the message. If it does, the function returns the data; otherwise, it returns NULL. This approach simplifies the code and reduces redundancy. This patchset introduces the `nlmsg_payload` helper and updates several parts of the code to use it. Further updates will follow in subsequent patchsets. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250411-nlmsg-v1-0-ddd4e065cb15@debian.org ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250414-nlmsg-v2-0-3d90cb42c6af@debian.org Signed-off-by:Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
